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.

SEE ALSO

       This program is a part of debhelper.
