-s (or --syslog) says use syslog, not stderr
-v (or --verbose) enables more messages
-V (or --version) prints the version code
- -w (or --wait) begins a module removal even if it is used
+ -w (or --wait) begins module removal even if it is used
and will stop new users from accessing the module (so it
should eventually fall to zero).
If no arguments (except options) are given, "depmod -a" is assumed.
depmod will output a dependancy list suitable for the modprobe utility.
Options:
- -a, --all Probe all modules
- -A, --quick Only does the work if there's a new module
- -n, --show Write the dependency file on stdout only
- -e, --errsyms Report not supplied symbols
- -V, --version Print the release version
- -v, --verbose Enable verbose mode
- -h, --help Print this usage message

The following options are useful for people managing distributions:
-b basedirectory
- --basedir basedirectory Use an image of a module tree.

-F kernelsyms
- --filesyms kernelsyms Use the file instead of the
- current kernel symbols.
