   1 Features:
   2 =========
   3
   4 * config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
   5   vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
   6   bsearch().
   7
   8 * index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
   9   with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
  10
  11 * create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
  12   so we're able to create unit tests
  13
  14 * provide ELF manipulation to implement modinfo
  15
  16 * Add functions to dump configuration
  17
  18 * Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep
  19
  20 * provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe
  21    - dump configuration
  22
  23 * provide modules.archive, a cache file with all modules compressed
  24   and a fast access. It's like a tar.gz, but with each entry
  25   compressed as opposed to the whole tar compressed, easy to pick
  26   individual entries, that is, more like .gz.tar. As zlib compression
  27   does not store the uncompressed file size, this could provide
  28   it. The file format should be something like:
  29      MAGIC-ID
  30      DIRECTORY-ENTRY-SIZE
  31      DIRECTORY (hash-like format, points to file offset and size)
  32      ENTRIES (each is a compressed module)
  33   Helper binary to:
  34      kmod-archive list
  35      kmod-archive add path.ko
  36      kmod-archive rm path.ko
  37      kmod-archive get path.ko
  38      kmod-archive exists path.ko
