DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)            Debhelper           DH_INSTALLMODULES(1)

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.
