6 | kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like |
| 7 | insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases. | |

9 | These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with |
| 10 | kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. | |
| 11 | The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from | |
| 12 | module-init-tools project. | |

| 24 | ||
| 25 | Typical configuration: | |
| 26 | ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \ | |
| 27 | --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages. | |
