KSPLICE-APPLY(8) Ksplice KSPLICE-APPLY(8)
NAME
ksplice-apply - Apply an on-disk Ksplice update to the running kernel
SYNOPSIS
ksplice-apply [OPTIONS] {UPDATE_TARBALL | UPDATE_TREE}
DESCRIPTION
ksplice-apply takes as input a Ksplice update, as generated by ksplice-create(8), and it
applies the update to the running binary kernel. The update may be supplied in the form
of a tarball or an unpacked tree.
The update is required to have been generated for the running kernel's version.
OPTIONS
--debug Applies the update with debugging output enabled. Recommended only for debugging.
--debugfile=filename
Sets the location where debugging output should be saved. Implies --debug.
--partial
Applies the update only to those modules which are loaded. Any modules patched by
the update that are not loaded are ignored (without this option, Ksplice aborts if
any modules patched by the update are not loaded).
--raw-errors
Print only raw error information designed to be machine-readable on standard error
(standard output is still intended to be human-readable). If ksplice-apply fails
due to an error from the Ksplice kernel modules, the first line on standard error
will be a Ksplice abort code (see the Ksplice source code for documentation on
these codes). Further lines will vary depending on the abort code. If ksplice-
apply fails for any other reason, it will output the line "OTHER\n", followed by a
human-readable failure message, to standard error.
