modinfo

modinfo(8)						      System Manager's Manual							modinfo(8)

NAME

       modinfo -- program to show information about a Linux Kernel module

SYNOPSIS

       modinfo [-0]  [-F field]  [-k kernel]  [modulename|filename ...]

       modinfo -V

       modinfo -h

DESCRIPTION

       modinfo	extracts  information  from  the  Linux  Kernel modules given on the command line.  If the module name is not a filename, then the
       /lib/modules/version	  directory is searched, as is also done by modprobe(8) when loading kernel modules.

       modinfo by default lists each attribute of the module in form fieldname : value, for easy reading.  The filename is  listed  the  same  way
       (although it's not really an attribute).

       This version of modinfo can understand modules of any Linux Kernel architecture.

OPTIONS

       -V --version
		 Print the modinfo version.

       -F --field
		 Only  print  this  field  value, one per line.  This is most useful for scripts.  Field names are case-insenitive.  Common fields
		 (which may not be in every module) include author, description, license, parm, depends, and  alias.   There  are  often  multiple
		 parm, alias and depends       fields.	The special field filename	    lists the filename of the module.

       -k kernel Provide  information  about a kernel other than the running one. This is particularly useful for distributions needing to extract
		 information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel modules. For example, you  wish  to  find  which  firmware
		 files are needed by various modules in a new kernel for which you must make an initrd/initramfs image prior to booting.

       -0 --null Use  the  ASCII zero character to separate field values, instead of a new line.  This is useful for scripts, since a new line can
		 theoretically appear inside a field.

       -a -d -l -p -n
		 These are shortcuts for author, description, license.	parm and filename respectively, to ease the transition from the old  modu-
		 tils modinfo.
