kmod - Linux kernel module handling
OVERVIEW
========
kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like
insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.
These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with
kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it.
The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from
module-init-tools project.
Compilation and installation
============================
In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages:
- GCC compiler
- GNU C library
Optional dependencies:
- ZLIB library
- LZMA library
Typical configuration:
./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.
To compile and install run:
make && make install
Hacking
=======
Run 'bootstrap' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended
flags, you just need to run 'bootstrap-configure'.
Make sure to read the CODING-STYLE file and the other READMEs: libkmod/README
and testsuite/README.
