<para>
The <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> as generated by
module-init-tools <command>depmod</command>, lists the dependencies for
every module in the directories under
<filename>/lib/modules/</filename><replaceable>version</replaceable>,
where <filename>modules.dep.bin</filename> (or the human readable version
<filename>modules.dep</filename>) is also located. It is used by
utilities such as <command>modprobe</command>. The binary version will be
used by default, if it was generated by a compatible version of
<command>depmod</command>, with fallback to the generic
<filename>modules.dep</filename>.

command to obtain information about modules in a future proof and
compatible fashion rather than touching these files.
