dh_installmodules(1)

NAME

dh_installmodules - register modules with modutils

SYNOPSIS

dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name]

DESCRIPTION

dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for
registering kernel modules.

Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
found, postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed. These
commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1).

FILES

debian/package.modprobe
Installed to etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory.
debian/package.modules
These files were installed for use by modutils, but are now not
used and dh_installmodules will warn if these files are present.

OPTIONS

-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.
--name=name
When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and
installs files named debian/package.name.modprobe instead of the usual debian/package.modprobe

NOTES

Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

This program is a part of debhelper.
