+  <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+    <para>The order in which modules are processed by the
+      <command>depmod</command> command can be altered on a global or
+      per-module basis. This is typically useful in cases where built-in
+      kernel modules are complemented by custom built versions of the
+      same and the user wishes to affect the priority of processing in
+      order to override the module version supplied by the kernel.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The format of files under <filename>depmod.d</filename> is simple: one
+      command per line, with blank lines and lines starting with '#'
+      ignored (useful for adding comments).  A '\' at the end of a line
+      causes it to continue on the next line, which makes the files a
+      bit neater.

+        </term>
+        <listitem>
+          <para>
+            This allows you to specify the order in which @MODULE_DIRECTORY@
+            (or other configured module location) subdirectories will
+            be processed by <command>depmod</command>. Directories are
+            listed in order, with the highest priority given to the
+            first listed directory and the lowest priority given to the last
+            directory listed. The special keyword <command>built-in</command> 
+            refers to the standard module directories installed by the kernel.
+            Another special keyword <command>external</command> refers to the
+            list of external directories, defined by the
+            <command>external</command> command.
+          </para>
+          <para>
+            By default, depmod will give a higher priority to 
+            a directory with the name <command>updates</command>
+            using this built-in search string: "updates built-in"
+            but more complex arrangements are possible and are
+            used in several popular distributions.

+          <para>
+            This command allows you to override which version of a
+            specific module will be used when more than one module
+            sharing the same name is processed by the
+            <command>depmod</command> command. It is possible to
+            specify one kernel or all kernels using the * wildcard.
+            <replaceable>modulesubdirectory</replaceable> is the
+            name of the subdirectory under @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other
+            module location) where the target module is installed.
+          </para>
+          <para>
+            For example, it is possible to override the priority of
+            an updated test module called <command>kmod</command> by
+            specifying the following command: "override kmod * extra".
+            This will ensure that any matching module name installed
+            under the <command>extra</command> subdirectory within
+            @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other module location) will take priority
+            over any likenamed module already provided by the kernel.

+        </term>
+        <listitem>
+          <para>
+            This specifies a list of directories, which will be checked
+            according to the priorities in the <command>search</command>
+            command. The order matters also, the first directory has the higher
+            priority.
+          </para>
+          <para>
+            The <replaceable>kernelversion</replaceable> is a POSIX regular
+            expression or * wildcard, like in the <command>override</command>.

+            This specifies the trailing directories that will be excluded
+            during the search for kernel modules.
+          </para>
+          <para>
+	    The <replaceable>excludedir</replaceable> is the trailing directory
