+2  Q: 

Programmatically insert and remove kernel modules in C

Is there anyway to do "insmod" and "rmmod" from C/C++ code? Other than running system(...), is there a Kernel API that will allow me to do this?

+3  A: 

Have you looked at the module-init-tools source?

Excellent thanks for that, that should help me. I forgot that I can just look at the source for almost anything.. still stuck in Windows world mentally.

+1  A: 

In addition to viewing the source for insmod and module-init-tools you could strace and ltrace a run of insmod.
