Currently we have a pattern rule, which effective states that two output files are produced - %.5 and %.8. Although that's not the case in practise, since each input xml will be generated to a single manual page. Add the manpage section as part of the xml filename and tweak the pattern (match) rule, accordingly.

|
|
<para>The order in which modules are processed by the
|
|
<command>depmod</command> command can be altered on a global or
|
|
per-module basis. This is typically useful in cases where built-in
|
|
kernel modules are complemented by custom built versions of the
|
|
same and the user wishes to affect the priority of processing in
|
|
order to override the module version supplied by the kernel.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The format of files under <filename>depmod.d</filename> is simple: one
|
|
command per line, with blank lines and lines starting with '#'
|
|
ignored (useful for adding comments). A '\' at the end of a line
|
|
causes it to continue on the next line, which makes the files a
|
|
bit neater.

<para>
|
|
This allows you to specify the order in which @MODULE_DIRECTORY@
|
|
(or other configured module location) subdirectories will
|
|
be processed by <command>depmod</command>. Directories are
|
|
listed in order, with the highest priority given to the
|
|
first listed directory and the lowest priority given to the last
|
|
directory listed. The special keyword <command>built-in</command>
|
|
refers to the standard module directories installed by the kernel.
|
|
Another special keyword <command>external</command> refers to the
|
|
list of external directories, defined by the
|
|
<command>external</command> command.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By default, depmod will give a higher priority to
|
|
a directory with the name <command>updates</command>
|
|
using this built-in search string: "updates built-in"
|
|
but more complex arrangements are possible and are
|
|
used in several popular distributions.

This command allows you to override which version of a
|
|
specific module will be used when more than one module
|
|
sharing the same name is processed by the
|
|
<command>depmod</command> command. It is possible to
|
|
specify one kernel or all kernels using the * wildcard.
|
|
<replaceable>modulesubdirectory</replaceable> is the
|
|
name of the subdirectory under @MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other
|
|
module location) where the target module is installed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For example, it is possible to override the priority of
|
|
an updated test module called <command>kmod</command> by
|
|
specifying the following command: "override kmod * extra".
|
|
This will ensure that any matching module name installed
|
|
under the <command>extra</command> subdirectory within
|
|
@MODULE_DIRECTORY@ (or other module location) will take priority
|
|
over any likenamed module already provided by the kernel.

<para>
|
|
This specifies a list of directories, which will be checked
|
|
according to the priorities in the <command>search</command>
|
|
command. The order matters also, the first directory has the higher
|
|
priority.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The <replaceable>kernelversion</replaceable> is a POSIX regular
|
|
expression or * wildcard, like in the <command>override</command>.
