It provides the familiar `depmod`, `insmod`, `lsmod`, `modinfo`, `modprobe`, and `rmmod` commands on top of libkmod. ### Historique du projet The kmod README states the project's goal directly: handle common Linux kernel module tasks and remain compatible with the tools, configurations, and indexes from module-init-tools. Its early NEWS entries show that version 1 provided libkmod plus module-init-tools-style command names, version 2 expanded modprobe compatibility, and version 3 bundled tools through a single `kmod` binary callable through symlinks. That library-centered rewrite mattered because Linux systems had grown a complex set of module indexes, aliases, soft dependencies, compressed modules, and initramfs constraints. kmod turned those concerns into libkmod APIs consumed by command-line tools and by other system software. ### Historique d'adoption Distributions adopted kmod as the drop-in successor to module-init-tools during the early 2010s. Arch Linux announced the switch on 2012-01-21, and the kmod README records that later behavior changes and features followed feedback from the Linux kernel community and distributions. ### Modes d'utilisation Administrators and boot-time services use kmod tools to query loaded modules, generate dependency indexes, inspect module metadata, load modules by alias or name, and remove modules. Configuration is driven by modprobe-style `.conf` files under Linux module configuration directories, while credentials are not part of the tool model. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent kmod is foundational packaging infrastructure: it is a small package whose binaries often exist in `/sbin` or `/usr/bin`, but it participates in boot, initramfs generation, kernel upgrades, device probing, and driver packaging. Its symlinked multi-call command design also makes it a neat example of replacing legacy utilities while preserving the command surface scripts expect. ### Chronologie - 2011: module-init-tools reached end of life, according to the kmod README. - 2011: kmod 1 shipped the first libkmod and module-init-tools-style tools. - 2011: kmod 3 added depmod and the single `kmod` binary with symlink-compatible tool names. - 2012-01-21: Arch Linux announced kmod replacing module-init-tools. - 2026: kmod 34 NEWS described Meson transition work, dlopen-based decompression libraries, shell completions, CI hardening, and documentation improvements. ### Related projects - kmod is directly related to module-init-tools, the Linux kernel module loader interfaces, udev/systemd module-loading paths, initramfs tooling, and package scripts that regenerate module dependency indexes after kernel or driver installs. ### Sources - - - - ## Notes de sécurité narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Risque Geiger:** vert / faible - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
