Parameter Use to

NLM_name

ADDRESS SPACE= address_space

Specify the address space you want to unload. This command unloads all modules from the address space, removes the space, and returns its resources to the system.

ADDRESS SPACE= address_space NLM_name

Specify the module you want to remove from the designated address space. This command unloads the specified module from the address space, but does not remove the address space.

KILL ADDRESS SPACE= address_space

Remove the specified address space, but without unloading modules from it first. Use this command only if you know the address space can't be unloaded any other way.

IMPORTANT:  Before you unload a module, be sure to read the next section, Unloading Modules.


Unloading Modules

The UNLOAD command unlinks a loadable module from the operating system that was previous linked to the operating system with the LOAD command. (See LOAD.) When you unload a module, all resources are returned to the system.

To unload a module from an address space, you can specify its address space.

NOTE:  If an address is specified without a module, all modules in that address space will be unloaded.

Keep the following information in mind when unloading LAN drivers, name space modules, or disk drivers.
