mkmodaliases(1) -- Construct modaliases file for kernel modules

SYNOPSIS

mkmodaliases package-name [.ko file] [.ko file]

DESCRIPTION

mkmodaliases is a tool to generate .modaliases files used for hardware detection when using linux-driver-management. These files contain a modalias entry per line, defining the modalias pattern match and kernel module names.

These are used by the LDM library to provide automatic matching of hardware devices to kernel modules.

Upon success, the modalias file is emitted to the stdout, unless the -o option is provided to write to a specific file.

OPTIONS

The following options are applicable to mkmodaliases(1).

  • -o, --output

    Redirect the output to a named file, generating a modalias in that path instead of on the default stdout.

  • -v, --version

    Print the mkmodaliases version and exit.

  • -h, --help

    Print the help message, displaying all supported options, and exit.

EXIT STATUS

On success, 0 is returned. A non-zero return code signals a failure.
