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, 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 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.
