    NAME
           modules.dep, modules.dep.bin - Module dependency information
    
    SYNOPSIS
           /lib/modules/modules.dep
    
           /lib/modules/modules.dep.bin
    
    DESCRIPTION
           modules.dep.bin is a binary file generated by depmod listing the
           dependencies for every module in the directories under
           /lib/modules/version. It is used by kmod tools such as modprobe and
           libkmod.
    
           Its text counterpar is located in the same directory with the name
           modules.dep. The text version is maintained only for easy of reading by
           humans and is in no way used by any kmod tool.
    
           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.
