Details

depmod generates modules.dep and map files. It is part of the kmod package

It scans all modules in /lib/modules/<kernel-version> and collects infos from each module's modinfo section.
The collected info is sorted by the modules.order db created by kbuild and stored in a bunch of files in the same folder,
to be used by modprobe, udevd and udevadm.

Besides this 2 further files created by kbuild are indexed:

depmod is not installed in FRITZ!OS, neither this kmod version nor the busybox version depmod (bbcmd). However, depmod
is compiled into kmod but lacks the symlink. Unlike busybox there's no way to call kmod builtins without symlink.
Creating a symlink in RAM makes it accessible, see the method to gather the help output below.

See also the depmod(8), depmod.d(5), modules.dep(5) and kmod(8) man pages and the Kmod-Bin article.

depmod fw 7.39 help:

root@fritz0:/var/mod/root# ln -s /usr/bin/kmod depmod 

root@fritz0:/var/mod/root# ./depmod -h

Usage:
	depmod -[aA] [options] [forced_version]

If no arguments (except options) are given, "depmod -a" is assumed

depmod will output a dependency list suitable for the modprobe utility.

Options:
	-a, --all            Probe all modules
	-A, --quick          Only does the work if there's a new module
	-e, --errsyms        Report not supplied symbols
	-n, --show           Write the dependency file on stdout only
	-P, --symbol-prefix  Architecture symbol prefix
	-C, --config=PATH    Read configuration from PATH
	-v, --verbose        Enable verbose mode
	-w, --warn           Warn on duplicates
	-V, --version        show version
	-h, --help           show this help

The following options are useful for people managing distributions:
	-b, --basedir=DIR    Use an image of a module tree.
	-F, --filesyms=FILE  Use the file instead of the
	                     current kernel symbols.
	-E, --symvers=FILE   Use Module.symvers file to check
	                     symbol versions.

GPL-Browser

Daily updated index of all depmod code findings on the GPL-Browser. Last update: 2024-12-22 05:05 GMT.
The Browse column points to the Path containing the respective source code on the gpl.boxmatrix.info service.
The SoC column lists the Chip-Codenames, the Model column lists the nicks of the Box-Models.
The Diff column links the comparison of the AVM Kernel to the pristine original from Kernel.org.
The Download column links the full tarball the respective directory content is extracted from.
The presence of the source does not mean it fits the respective model and architecture. See the Model-Matrix where it's used.
