depfinder 0.4 (Default branch)

depfinder finds the dependencies of Zenwalk/Slackware packages and outputs them in a comma separated list, as used in Zenwalk. The dependency list can be output to stdout or to a .dep text file. depfinder is very fast; its speed is mainly due to the C++ code that is used in depfinder to find in which package each individual library is included. It also has support for running multiple jobs, which makes it a lot faster when used with multiple CPUs/cores. depfinder only uses ldd to look for dependencies, so it won't detect dependencies for any kind of scripts (bash, Python, etc.). License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
depfinder can now use a directory with the package structure directly. When a package dependency is not installed, a proper error message is shown. depfinder can now be run as a non-privileged user. Support has been added for the ADD and EXCLUDE environment variables for explicitly adding or excluding dependencies respectively. Image

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. COPYRIGHT
