moduleexit
Moduleexit is a term used in modular software architectures to denote the routine that runs when a module is unloaded or removed. In many programming environments, the module exit function is paired with a corresponding initialization function to manage the module’s lifecycle. When referring to Linux kernel development, the term is commonly written as module_exit and refers to the cleanup function designated for unloading a kernel module.
In the Linux kernel, module_exit is a macro used to declare the module’s exit function and to
Usage in code typically involves defining two functions: an initialization function marked with __init, and a
