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. - </para> - </refsect1> - <refsect1> - <title>COMMANDS</title> - <variablelist> - <varlistentry> - <term>search <replaceable>subdirectory...</replaceable> - </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> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>override <replaceable>modulename</replaceable> <replaceable>kernelversion</replaceable> <replaceable>modulesubdirectory</replaceable> - </term> - <listitem> - <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. - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - <varlistentry> - <term>external <replaceable>kernelversion</replaceable> - <replaceable>absolutemodulesdirectory...</replaceable> - </term> - <listitem> - <para> - This specifies a list of directories, which will be checked - according to the priorities in the <command>search</command> - command.
