.SH NAME
kpatch \- hot patch module management
.SH SYNOPSIS
kpatch <command> [<args>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
change 'apply/remove' to 'load/unload' After removing the distinction between 'enabled' modules and 'applied' modules in 022e42bc, we can change the 'apply' and 'remove' subcommands, to more intuitive 'load' and 'unload' subcommands. Signed-off-by: Seth Jennings <sjenning@redhat.com>

displaying information about kernel patch modules installed on
the system.
kpatch replace Allow the user to atomically replace all existing modules with a new "kpatch replace" command. This provides a safe way to do atomic upgrades for cumulative patch module updates.

kpatch: allow kpatch load/unload/info for files A user may want to load a module without having to install it to the initrd. In fact, 99% of the time I think that will be the typical usage of "kpatch load", with a given file as an argument rather than a DB module. Have "kpatch load" and other commands take a file as input. If the file is not found, then check the DB.

install <module>

update patch module terminology Try to be more consistent with the terminology. In various places we call it a "hotpatch module", "hot patch module", or "patch module". How about we just call it a "patch module" everywhere?
