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. + + + The format of files under depmod.d 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. + + + + COMMANDS + + + search subdirectory... + + + + This allows you to specify the order in which @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ + (or other configured module location) subdirectories will + be processed by depmod. 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 built-in + refers to the standard module directories installed by the kernel. + Another special keyword external refers to the + list of external directories, defined by the + external command. + + + By default, depmod will give a higher priority to + a directory with the name updates + using this built-in search string: "updates built-in" + but more complex arrangements are possible and are + used in several popular distributions. + + + + + override modulename kernelversion modulesubdirectory + + + + 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 + depmod command. It is possible to + specify one kernel or all kernels using the * wildcard. + modulesubdirectory is the + name of the subdirectory under @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other + module location) where the target module is installed. + + + For example, it is possible to override the priority of + an updated test module called kmod by + specifying the following command: "override kmod * extra". + This will ensure that any matching module name installed + under the extra subdirectory within + @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other module location) will take priority + over any likenamed module already provided by the kernel. + + + + + external kernelversion + absolutemodulesdirectory... + + + + This specifies a list of directories, which will be checked + according to the priorities in the search + command. The order matters also, the first directory has the higher + priority. + + + The kernelversion is a POSIX regular + expression or * wildcard, like in the override. + + + + + exclude excludedir + + + + This specifies the trailing directories that will be excluded + during the search for kernel modules. + + + The excludedir is the trailing directory + to exclude + + + + + + + COPYRIGHT + + This manual page Copyright 2006-2010, Jon Masters, Red Hat, Inc. + + + SEE ALSO + + + depmod8 + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
