NAME
       modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information


SYNOPSIS
       /lib/modules/modules.dep

       /lib/modules/modules.dep.bin


DESCRIPTION
       The modules.dep.bin as generated by module-init-tools depmod, lists the dependencies for every module in
       the directories under /lib/modules/version, where modules.dep.bin (or the human readable version
       modules.dep) is also located. It is used by utilities such as modprobe. The binary version will be used
       by default, if it was generated by a compatible version of depmod, with fallback to the generic
       modules.dep.

       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 modinfo(8) command to obtain information about modules in a
       future proof and compatible fashion rather than touching these files.
