DH_INSTALLMODULES(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)
NAME
dh_installmodules - register kernel modules
SYNOPSIS
dh_installmodules [debhelper options] [-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, preinst, 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.
OPTIONS
-n, --no-scripts
Do not modify preinst/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.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
