• NAME
  
  modules.dep - List of module dependencies
• DESCRIPTION
  
  
  
  The modules.dep as generated by module-init-tools depmod, lists the dependencies for every module in the directories under /lib/modules/version, where modules.dep is.
  
  Blank lines, and lines starting with a '#' (ignoring spaces) are ignored.  Other lines are of the form "filename: [filename]*", listing the complete dependencies for the first filename in descending order.
  
  For example, if /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/a.ko depended on b.ko and c.ko in the same directory, and c.ko depended on b.ko as well, the file might look like:
  

  
  # This is a comment.
  /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/a.ko: /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/c.ko /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko
  /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko:
  /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/c.ko: /lib/modules/2.5.53/kernel/b.ko
      
  

  
  
  This file is used by modprobe to know the order to load modules (they are loaded right to left, and removed left to right).
