MODULES.DEP(5) modules.dep MODULES.DEP(5)
modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information
/lib/modules/modules.dep
/lib/modules/modules.dep.bin
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 counterpart is located in the same directory with the
name modules.dep. The text version is maintained only for ease 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.

Please direct any bug reports to kmod's issue tracker at
https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/issues/ alongside with
version used, steps to reproduce the problem and the expected
outcome.
Numerous contributions have come from the linux-modules mailing
list <linux-modules@vger.kernel.org> and Github. If you have a
clone of kmod.git itself, the output of git-shortlog(1) and
git-blame(1) can show you the authors for specific parts of the
project.
Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> is the current
maintainer of the project.
