On all releases of Darwin/Mac OS X through Leopard, you have to run kextload to load a kext explicitly. This is and will be the fully- supported mechanism for loading a kext on all releases, whatever changes we may make in future releases.

What is the reason why you don't want to use kextload?

I generally prefer not invoking a utility from within my own program unless
I have to. It strikes me as an ugly way of performing a task.


If there is no other way then I'll invoke kextload, I was just hoping for an
overlooked API.
