.SH NAME
dh_installmodules \- register kernel modules
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBdh_installmodules\fR [\fIdebhelper\ options\fR] [\fB\-n\fR] [\fB\-\-name=\fR\fIname\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_installmodules\fR is a debhelper program that is responsible for
registering kernel modules.
.PP
Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
found, \fIpreinst\fR, \fIpostinst\fR and \fIpostrm\fR commands are automatically generated to
run \fBdepmod\fR and register the modules when the package is installed. 
These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
\&\fBdh_installdeb\fR\|(1).
.SH FILES
.IX Header "FILES"
.IP debian/\fIpackage\fR.modprobe 4
.IX Item "debian/package.modprobe"
Installed to etc/modprobe.d/\fIpackage\fR.conf in the package build directory.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-scripts\fR" 4
.IX Item "-n, --no-scripts"
Do not modify \fIpreinst\fR/\fIpostinst\fR/\fIpostrm\fR scripts.
.IP \fB\-\-name=\fR\fIname\fR 4
.IX Item "--name=name"
When this parameter is used, \fBdh_installmodules\fR looks for and
installs files named debian/\fIpackage\fR.\fIname\fR.modprobe instead
of the usual debian/\fIpackage\fR.modprobe
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Note that this command is not idempotent. \fBdh_prep\fR\|(1) should be called
between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
