MODULE_DEPEND(9) | Kernel Developer's Manual | MODULE_DEPEND(9) |
NAME¶
MODULE_DEPEND
—
set kernel module dependencies
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
MODULE_DEPEND
(name,
moddepend,
int minversion,
int prefversion,
int maxversion);
DESCRIPTION¶
TheMODULE_DEPEND
() macro sets a dependency on another
kernel module with name moddepend, which has registered
its version with MODULE_VERSION
().
The MODULE_DEPEND
() macro provides hints
to the kernel loader(8) and to the kernel linker to ensure
that the named dependency is loaded prior to the existing module. It does
not change or dictate the order in which modules are initialized at
runtime.
Three versions must be specified for moddepend:
- minversion
- The minimum version on which the current module can depend.
- maxversion
- The maximum version on which the current module can depend.
- prefversion
- The preferred version on which the current module can depend.
EXAMPLES¶
MODULE_DEPEND(foo, bar, 1, 3, 4);
