<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <filename>modules.dep</filename> as generated by
module-init-tools <command>depmod</command>, lists the
dependencies for every module in the directories under
<filename>/lib/modules/</filename><replaceable>version</replaceable>,
where <filename>modules.dep</filename> is.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
For example, if
<filename>/lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/a.ko</filename> depended on
<filename>b.ko</filename> and <filename>c.ko</filename> in the
same directory, and <filename>c.ko</filename> depended on
<filename>b.ko</filename> as well, the file might look like:
</para>
<screen>
# This is a comment.
/lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/a.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/c.ko /lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/b.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/b.ko:
/lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/c.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/b.ko
</screen>
<para>
This file is used by <command>modprobe</command> to know the
order in which to load modules (they are loaded right to left, and
removed left to right).
