Details
depmod generates modules.dep and map files. It is part of the kmod package
It scans all modules in /lib/modules/<kernel-version> and collects infos from each module's modinfo section.
The collected info is sorted by the modules.order db created by kbuild and stored in a bunch of files in the same folder,
to be used by modprobe, udevd and udevadm.
- All dependency info is stored in modules.dep and its Kmod-Bin version modules.dep.bin.
- All collected symbols are stored in modules.symbols and its Kmod-Bin version modules.symbols.bin.
- All collected aliases are stored in modules.alias and its Kmod-Bin version modules.alias.bin.
- All device names and nodes specified in modules are collected to modules.devname.
- All soft dependencies specified in modules are collected to modules.softdep.
Besides this 2 further files created by kbuild are indexed:
- The modules.builtin db created by kbuild is converted to its Kmod-Bin version modules.builtin.bin.
- All aliases from modules.builtin.modinfo db created by kbuild are Kmod-Bin indexed to modules.builtin.alias.bin.
depmod is not installed in FRITZ!OS, neither this kmod version nor the busybox version depmod (bbcmd). However, depmod
is compiled into kmod but lacks the symlink. Unlike busybox there's no way to call kmod builtins without symlink.
Creating a symlink in RAM makes it accessible, see the method to gather the help output below.
See also the depmod(8), depmod.d(5), modules.dep(5) and kmod(8) man pages and the Kmod-Bin article.
depmod fw 7.39 help:
root@fritz0:/var/mod/root# ln -s /usr/bin/kmod depmod root@fritz0:/var/mod/root# ./depmod -h Usage: depmod -[aA] [options] [forced_version] If no arguments (except options) are given, "depmod -a" is assumed depmod will output a dependency list suitable for the modprobe utility. Options: -a, --all Probe all modules -A, --quick Only does the work if there's a new module -e, --errsyms Report not supplied symbols -n, --show Write the dependency file on stdout only -P, --symbol-prefix Architecture symbol prefix -C, --config=PATH Read configuration from PATH -v, --verbose Enable verbose mode -w, --warn Warn on duplicates -V, --version show version -h, --help show this help The following options are useful for people managing distributions: -b, --basedir=DIR Use an image of a module tree. -F, --filesyms=FILE Use the file instead of the current kernel symbols. -E, --symvers=FILE Use Module.symvers file to check symbol versions.

Examples
depmod v24 example:
TODO
GPL-Browser
Daily updated index of all depmod code findings on the GPL-Browser. Last update: 2024-05-18 04:10 GMT.
The Browse column points to the Path containing the respective source code on the gpl.boxmatrix.info service.
The SoC column lists the Chip-Codenames, the Model column lists the nicks of the Box-Models.
The Diff column links the comparison of the AVM Kernel to the pristine original from Kernel.org.
The Download column links the full tarball the respective directory content is extracted from.
The presence of the source does not mean it fits the respective model and architecture. See the Model-Matrix where it's used.
