+.SH "NAME"
+modules.dep, modules.dep.bin \- Module dependency information
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+/lib/modules/modules\&.dep
+.PP
+/lib/modules/modules\&.dep\&.bin
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+modules\&.dep\&.bin
+is a binary file generated by
+\fBdepmod\fR
+listing the dependencies for every module in the directories under
+/lib/modules/\fIversion\fR\&. It is used by kmod tools such as
+\fBmodprobe\fR
+and libkmod\&.
+.PP
+Its text counterpart is located in the same directory with the name
+modules\&.dep\&. The text version is maintained only for easy of reading by humans and is in no way used by any kmod tool\&.
+.PP
+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
+\fBmodinfo\fR(8)
+command to obtain information about modules in a future proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these files\&.
