Note that completions are explicitly aimed to be simple, depending on as little as possible shell specific helpers. The goal is that people unfamiliar with these can extend them with zero ramp-up. Doing things efficiently or "properly" is somewhat secondary. v2: - wire the completions to the autotools build v3: - use SPDX style copyright statements Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Link: https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/pull/138 Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com>
kmod - Linux kernel module handling
OVERVIEW
kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.
These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from module-init-tools project.

Compilation and installation
In order to compile the source code you need the following software packages:
- GCC/CLANG compiler
- GNU C library / musl / uClibc
- rsync
Optional dependencies:
- ZLIB library
- LZMA library
- ZSTD library
- OPENSSL library (signature handling in modinfo)
Typical configuration and installation
meson setup builddir/
meson compile -C builddir/
sudo meson install -C builddir/
Alternatively you can try autotools build. NOTE: The autotools build is slated for removal with kmod v35
./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.
To compile and install run:
make && make install
Hacking
When working on kmod, use the included build-dev.ini file, as:
meson setup --native-file build-dev.ini builddir/
Make sure to read our contributing guide and the other READMEs: libkmod and testsuite.
Compatibility with module-init-tools
kmod replaced module-init-tools, which was EOL'ed in 2011. All the tools were rewritten on top of libkmod and they can be used as drop in replacements. Along the years there were a few behavior changes and new features implemented, following feedback from Linux kernel community and distros.
