| modules.dep.bin, modules.dep \- Module dependency information |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .PP |
| The \fImodules.dep.bin\fR as generated by |
| module-init-tools \fBdepmod\fR, lists the |
| dependencies for every module in the directories under |
| \fI/lib/modules/\fR\fIversion\fR, |
| where \fImodules.dep.bin\fR (or the human readable |
| version \fImodules.dep\fR) is also located. It is |
| used by utilities such as \fBmodprobe\fR\&. The |
| binary version will be used by default, if it was generated by |
| a compatible version of \fBdepmod, with fallback |
| to the generic \fImodules.dep\fB\&. |
| \fR.PP |
| 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 |
| \fBmodinfo\fR(8) command to obtain information about modules in a future |
| proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these files. |
