NAME
modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information
SYNOPSIS
/lib/modules/modules.dep
/lib/modules/modules.dep.bin
DESCRIPTION
modules.dep.bin is a binary file generated by depmod listing the dependencies for every
module in the directories under /lib/modules/version. It is used by kmod tools such as
modprobe and libkmod.
Its text counterpar is located in the same directory with the name modules.dep. The text
version is maintained only for easy of reading by humans and is in no way used by any kmod
tool.
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 modinfo(8) command to obtain
information about modules in a future proof and compatible fashion rather than touching
these files.
