If the module name is\r\nnot a filename, then the /lib/modules/version directory is searched, as done by modprobe(8).\r\nmodinfo by default lists each attribute of the module in form fieldname : value, for easy reading. The filename is\r\nlisted the same way (although it's not really an attribute).\r\nThis version of modinfo can understand modules of any Linux Kernel architecture.\r\nOptions\r\n-V --version\r\nPrint the modinfo version.\r\n-F --field\r\nOnly print this field value, one per line. This is most useful for scripts. Field names are case-insenitive.\r\nCommon fields (which may not be in every module) include author, description, license, parm, depends,\r\nand alias. There are often multiple parm, alias and depends fields. The special field filename lists the\r\nfilename of the module.\r\n-k kernel\r\nProvide information about a kernel other than the running one. This is particularly useful for distributions\r\nneeding to extract information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel modules. For\r\nexample, you wish to find which firmware files are needed by various modules in a new kernel for which\r\nyou must make an initrd image prior to booting.\r\n-0 --null\r\nhttps://linux.die.net/man/8/modinfo\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nUse the ASCII zero character to separate field values, instead of a new line. This is useful for scripts, since\r\na new line can theoretically appear inside a field.\r\n-a -d -l -p -n\r\nThese are shortcuts for author, description, license. parm and filename respectively, to ease the transition\r\nfrom the old modutils modinfo.\r\nCopyright\r\nThis manual page Copyright 2003, Rusty Russell, IBM Corporation.\r\nSee Also\r\nmodprobe(8)\r\nReferenced By\r\nlsmod(8), query_module(2)\r\nSource: https://linux.die.net/man/8/modinfo\r\nhttps://linux.die.net/man/8/modinfo\r\nPage 2 of 2",
