- <para>The order in which modules are processed by the
- <command>depmod</command> command can be altered on a global or
- per-module basis. This is typically useful in cases where built-in
- kernel modules are complemented by custom built versions of the
- same and the user wishes to affect the priority of processing in
- order to override the module version supplied by the kernel.
- </para>
- <para>
- The format of files under <filename>depmod.d</filename> is simple: one
- command per line, with blank lines and lines starting with '#'
- ignored (useful for adding comments). A '\' at the end of a line
- causes it to continue on the next line, which makes the files a
- bit neater.

- This allows you to specify the order in which /lib/modules

- first listed directory and the lowest priority given to the last
- directory listed. The special keyword <command>built-in</command>
- refers to the standard module directories installed by the kernel.

- <para>
- By default, depmod will give a higher priority to

- This command allows you to override which version of a
- specific module will be used when more than one module
- sharing the same name is processed by the
- <command>depmod</command> command. It is possible to
- specify one kernel or all kernels using the * wildcard.
- <replaceable>modulesubdirectory</replaceable> is the
- name of the subdirectory under /lib/modules (or other
- module location) where the target module is installed.
- </para>
- <para>
- For example, it is possible to override the priority of
- an updated test module called <command>kmod</command> by
- specifying the following command: "override kmod * extra".
- This will ensure that any matching module name installed
- under the <command>extra</command> subdirectory within
- /lib/modules (or other module location) will take priority
- over any likenamed module already provided by the kernel.
