NAMEmodinfo − Show information about a Linux Kernel module

SYNOPSISmodinfo [−0] [−F field] [−k kernel] [modulename|filename...] modinfo −V modinfo −h

DESCRIPTIONmodinfo extracts information from the Linux Kernel modules given on the command line​. If the module name is not a filename, then the /lib/modules/version directory is searched, as is also done by modprobe(8) when loading kernel modules​. modinfo by default lists each attribute of the module in form fieldname : value, for easy reading​. The filename is listed the same way (although it's not really an attribute)​. This version of modinfo can understand modules of any Linux Kernel architecture​.

OPTIONS−V, −−version Print the modinfo version​. −F, −−field Only print this field value, one per line​. This is most useful for scripts​. Field names are case−insensitive​. Common fields (which may not be in every module) include author, description, license, parm, depends, and alias​. There are often multiple parm, alias and depends fields​. The special field filename lists the filename of the module​. −b basedir, −−basedir basedir Root directory for modules, / by default​. −k kernel Provide information about a kernel other than the running one​. This is particularly useful for distributions needing to extract information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel modules​. For example, you wish to find which firmware files are needed by various modules in a new kernel for which you must make an initrd/initramfs image prior to booting​. −0, −−null Use the ASCII zero character to separate field values, instead of a new line​. This is useful for scripts, since a new line can theoretically appear inside a field​. −a −−author, −d −−description, −l −−license, −p −−parameters, −n −−filename These are shortcuts for the −−field flag's author, description, license, parm and filename arguments, to ease the transition from the old modutils modinfo​.
