NAME
       dh_installmodules - register modules with modutils

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installmodules [debhelper options] [-n] [--name=name]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for regis
       tering kernel modules.

       Files named debian/package.modules will be installed as etc/modu
       tils/package in the package build directory. This is for use by modu
       tils. Files named debian/package.modprobe will be installed in etc/mod
       probe.d/package in the package build directory, to be used by mod
       ule-init-toolss version of modprobe.

       Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if
       found, postinst and postrm commands are automatically generated to run
       depmod and register the modules when the package is installed. See
       dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

OPTIONS
       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts.

       --name=name
	   When this parameter is used, dh_installmodules looks for and
	   installs files named debian/package.name.modules and debian/pack
	   age.name.modprobe instead of the usual debian/package.modules and
	   debian/package.modprobe

NOTES
       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be
       called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause
       multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
