This version of the module utilities is called "modules-1.3.69f"

Do 'make install' in this directory to get the following tools:

insmod:
	insmod		install a loadable module
	rmmod		remove module(s)
	ksyms		show symbols
	lsmod		show modules

	Note 1: insmod, rmmod and ksyms are rolled into one binary.
	Note 2: insmod can handle both a.out and ELF modules (and kernels).
	Note 3: insmod knows about symbol versions (generated by genksyms),
		but can also handle unversioned kernels and/or modules.
	Note 4: M68K support included

genksyms:
	genksyms	version generator for module symbols,
			to be run automatically during kernel make
			if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS was selected in "make config"

depmod:
	modprobe	load (a stack of) modules, controlled by a "makefile"
			and a configuration file.
	depmod		generate dependencies for modprobe.

	Note 1: modprobe and depmod are rolled into one binary
	Note 2: Take a look at the example for "/etc/conf.modules"!
			(or, as it also could be called: "etc/modules.conf")

kerneld: (See "kerneld/README" for more information)
	kerneld		A "user level kernel extension" that allows
			the kernel to perform some tasks in user space.
			Suitable tasks are e.g. loading of modules.
	NOTE: there is a patch in the kerneld directory that enables
	      an extension to the kerneld protocol.  The extension
	      makes the pid of the triggering process available in
	      the environment of all kerneld programs (KERNELD_TRIGGER).


The file "rc.hints" contains a skeleton for the system startup script.
