NAME¶
modinfo - Show information about a Linux Kernel moduleSYNOPSIS¶
modinfo
[ -0] [-F field]
[-k kernel] [modulename|filename...]
modinfo
-V
modinfo
-h
DESCRIPTION¶
OPTIONS¶
-V --versionPrint the modinfo version.
-F --field
Only print this field value, one per line.
This is most useful for scripts. Field names are case-insensitive. Common
fields (which may not be in every module) include author, description,
license, parm, depends, and alias. There are often multiple parm, alias and
depends fields. The special field filename lists the filename of the
module.
-k kernel
Provide information about a kernel other than
the running one. This is particularly useful for distributions needing to
extract information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel
modules. For example, you wish to find which firmware files are needed by
various modules in a new kernel for which you must make an initrd/initramfs
image prior to booting.
-0 --null
Use the ASCII zero character to separate field
values, instead of a new line. This is useful for scripts, since a new line
can theoretically appear inside a field.
-a -d -l -p -n
These are shortcuts for author, description,
license. parm and filename respectively, to ease the transition from the old
modutils modinfo.
