nvidia-modprobe: version 545.23.08
This setuid program is used to create, in a Linux distribution-independent way, NVIDIA Linux device files and load the NVIDIA kernel module, on behalf of NVIDIA Linux driver components which may not have sufficient privileges to perform these actions on their own.
nvidia-modprobe [options]
-v, --version
Print the utility version and exit.
-h, --help
Print usage information for the command line options and exit.
-c MINOR-NUMBER, --create-nvidia-device-file=MINOR-NUMBER
Create the NVIDIA device file with the given minor number; this option can be specified multiple times to create multiple NVIDIA device files.
-u, --unified-memory
Load the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module or create device files for it, instead of the NVIDIA kernel module.
-m, --modeset
Load the NVIDIA modeset kernel module and create its device file.
-s, --nvswitch
Load the NVIDIA kernel module and create the NVSwitch device files for each minor number specified using the -c flag.
-l, --nvlink
Load the NVIDIA kernel module and create the NVLink control device file.
-f NVIDIA-CAPABILITY-DEVICE-FILE, --nvidia-capability-device-file=NVIDIA-CAPABILITY-DEVICE-FILE
Create the NVIDIA capability device files with the given capability /proc file path. This option can be specified multiple times to create multiple NVIDIA capability device files.
-a, --auto-online-movable
Enable the online_movable auto onlining kernel setting for platforms (like Grace Hopper) that add and online GPU memory to the kernel
