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.
