!!DESCRIPTION |

|
| |
|
19 |
The __modinfo__ utility examines the object file |
| |
|
20 |
''module_file'' associated with a kernel module and |
| |
|
21 |
displays any information that it can glean. |
| |
|

__OPTIONS__ |
| |
|
25 |
|
| |
|
26 |
|
| |
|
27 |
__-a__, __--author__ |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
Display the module's author. |
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
__-d__, __--description__ |
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
Display the module's description. |
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
|
| |
|
39 |
__-f__''format_string''__, --format__ |
| |
|
40 |
''format_string'' |
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
|
| |
|
43 |
Let the user specify an arbitrary format string which can |
| |
|
44 |
extract values from the ELF section in ''module_file'' |
| |
|
45 |
which contains the module information. Replacements consist |
| |
|
46 |
of a percent sign followed by a tag name in curly braces. A |
| |
|
47 |
tagname of ''%{filename}'' is always supported, even if |
| |
|
48 |
the module has no modinfo section. ''%{kernel_version}'' |
| |
|
49 |
shows the version of the kernel the module was compiled for. |
| |
|
50 |
''%{using_checksums}'' expands to 1 is the module has |
| |
|
51 |
versioned symbols and to 0 or |
| |
|
52 |
'' |
| |
|
53 |
|
| |
|
54 |
|
| |
|
55 |
A tagname of ''%{parm}'' is special: the format string |
| |
|
56 |
line is repeated for each known module parameter (which may |
| |
|
57 |
be zero times) and ''%{parm}'' is then replaced by |
| |
|
58 |
descriptions of module parameters (one parameter on each |
| |
|
59 |
repeated line). |
| |
|
60 |
|
| |
|
61 |
|
| |
|
62 |
Alternatively, ''%a'', ''%d'', ''%l'', ''%n'' |
| |
|
63 |
and ''%p'' can be used instead of ''%{author}'', |
| |
|
64 |
''%{description}'', ''%{filename}'', ''%{license}'' |
| |
|
65 |
and ''%{parm}'', respectively. |
