  <refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> is a binary file generated by
      <command>depmod</command> listing the dependencies for
      every module in the directories under
      <filename>@MODULE_DIRECTORY@/</filename><replaceable>version</replaceable>.
      It is used by kmod tools such as <command>modprobe</command> and
      libkmod.
    </para>
    <para>
      Its text counterpart is located in the same directory with the name
      <filename>modules.dep</filename>. The text version is maintained only
      for easy of reading by humans and is in no way used by any kmod tool.
    </para>

      These files are not intended for editing or use by any additional
      utilities as their format is subject to change in the future. You should
      use the
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>modinfo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      command to obtain information about modules in a future proof and
      compatible fashion rather than touching these files.
