NAME

       dh_installmodules - register modules with modutils

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-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.

       debian/package.modules
	   These files were installed for use by modutils, but are now not used and dh_installmodules will warn if these files are present.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   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.
