The uargs contain any user space ar- guments to apply to the module. The len value indicates the size of the memory section the module loads into. RETURN VALUE init_module returns 0 on success; otherwise, it returns one of the er- rors listed in the "Errors" section. ERRORS -EPERM The user must have administrator module modification capabili- ties. -EINTR Only one module can be loaded at a time.
