Answer 1

After a little search, I found that there's a system call named

#include <linux/module.h>
int init_module(const char *name, struct module *image);

You can take a look at this man page if you want further details.

Thank you Adel C Kod, I just resolved that issue, here I am posting a simple sample code:

char cmnd[10];

if (strcmp(cmnd, "insert")==0) {
  system ("/sbin/insmod /home/xyzUBUNtu/Desktop/MyMod/kernel1.ko");
  printf("Your Module inserted");
  return 1;
}

thanks
