| <title>DESCRIPTION</title> |
| |
| <para> |
| The <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> as generated by |
| module-init-tools <command>depmod</command>, lists the |
| dependencies for every module in the directories under |
| <filename>/lib/modules/</filename><replaceable>version</replaceable>, |
| where <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> (or the human readable |
| version <filename>modules.dep</filename>) is also located. It is |
| used by utilities such as <command>modprobe</command>. The |
| binary version will be used by default, if it was generated by |
| a compatible version of <command>depmod</commnd>, with fallback |
| to the generic <filename>modules.dep</filename>. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| These files are not intended for editing or use by any additional |
| utilities as their format is subject to change in the future. You |
| should use the |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>modinfo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command to obtain information about modules in a future |
| proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these files. |
