NAME
modules.dep.bin, modules.depmodules.dep --- Module dependency informationDESCRIPTION
The modules.dep.bin as generated by
module-init-tools depmod, lists the
dependencies for every module in the directories under
/lib/modules/version,
where modules.dep.bin (or the human readable
version modules.dep) is also located. It is
used by utilities such as modprobe. The
binary version will be used by default, if it was generated by
a compatible version of depmod, with fallback
to the generic modules.dep.
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.
