   1 kmod - Linux kernel module handling
   2
   3 OVERVIEW
   4 ========
   5
   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.
   8
   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.

  14 Compilation and installation
  15 ============================
  16
  17 In order to compiler the source code you need following software packages:
  18         - GCC compiler
  19         - GNU C library
  20
  21 Optional dependencies:
  22         - ZLIB library
  23         - LZMA library
  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.
  30
  31 To compile and install run:
  32         make && make install
