Summary

Reflects the hint message improvement merged in #50 (minor error log improvement).

src/proclens.c now suggests three ways to load the kernel module when it is not found:

  • sudo insmod ./build/proclens_module.ko
  • sudo modprobe proclens_module (if installed)
  • sudo make install

The README.md manual install section only documented insmod. This PR adds a short note about modprobe as a valid alternative when the module has already been installed via make install or install.sh.

Changed Files

File Reason
README.md Added modprobe loading option under the manual install section to align with the updated CLI hint in ensure_module_loaded()

No Other Changes Needed

  • docs/TECHNICAL.md, docs/TESTING.md, docs/SCRIPTS.md, docs/CODE_QUALITY.md, docs/RELEASE.md: not affected by this hint-only change.
  • No new CLI flags, output formats, or make targets were added.

Generated by Update ProcLens Docs for issue #50 · ◷

Reflect the hint message improvement from src/proclens.c (PR #50)
which now suggests 'sudo modprobe proclens_module' when the module
is not loaded. Document this in the README manual install section.
