NAME

6       modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /lib/modules/modules.dep
10
11       /lib/modules/modules.dep.bin
12

DESCRIPTION

14       modules.dep.bin is a binary file generated by depmod listing the
15       dependencies for every module in the directories under
16       /lib/modules/version. It is used by kmod tools such as modprobe and
17       libkmod.
18
19       Its text counterpart is located in the same directory with the name
20       modules.dep. The text version is maintained only for easy of reading by
21       humans and is in no way used by any kmod tool.
22
23       These files are not intended for editing or use by any additional
24       utilities as their format is subject to change in the future. You
25       should use the modinfo(8) command to obtain information about modules
26       in a future proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these
27       files.
