| <title>DESCRIPTION</title> |
| |
| <para> |
| The <filename>modules.dep</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</filename> is. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Blank lines, and lines starting with a '#' (ignoring spaces) are |
| ignored. Other lines are of the form "filename: [filename]*", |
| listing the complete dependencies for the first filename in |
| descending order. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| For example, if |
| <filename>/lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/a.ko</filename> depended on |
| <filename>b.ko</filename> and <filename>c.ko</filename> in the |
| same directory, and <filename>c.ko</filename> depended on |
| <filename>b.ko</filename> as well, the file might look like: |
| </para> |

| # This is a comment. |
| /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/a.ko: /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/c.ko /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko |
| /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko: |
| /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/c.ko: /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko |
| </screen> |
| <para> |
| This file is used by <command>modprobe</command> to know the |
| order to load modules (they are loaded right to left, and |
| removed left to right). |
