NAME
       modules.dep.bin, modules.dep - Module dependency information

DESCRIPTION
       The modules.dep.bin as generated by module-init-tools depmod, lists the
       dependencies for	 every	module	in  the	 directories  under  /lib/mod‐
       ules/version, where modules.dep.bin (or the human readable version mod‐
       ules.dep) is also located. It is used by utilities  such	 as  modprobe.
       The  binary  version  will be used by default, if it was generated by a
       compatible version of depmod, with fallback to the generic modules.dep.

       These files are not intended for editing or use by any additional util‐
       ities  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.
