Yes, geom(8) utility works this way.
There are 3 standard command: load, list and unload.
If any of those command is not avilable, it will not be listed in help
and you get 'unknown command' error message.

'load' command is available if kernel module related to the given class
is not already loaded and there is geom_<class>.ko file in directories
listed in kern.module_path sysctl.

'unload' command is available when kernel module related to the given
class is loaded.

'list' command is available when kernel module related to the given class
is loaded.

Hmm, I should probably inform that command is unavailable instead of it
is unknown.
