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.
