Subject: Documentation error in depmod.d.5
Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 11:53:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aee4bc92-d34c-ff9f-2a86-f7b0c41c3d2f@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello list,
I wasn't sure how to report this but I figured the mailing list was a
good bet.
In man/depmod.d.xml it says "/usr/lib/depmod.d" is one of the
directories depmod will check for configuration files, but
tools/depmod.c says "/lib/depmod.d" instead. I believe the sources are
correct and the documentation is in error because modprobe uses a
similar layout and its source and doc are consistent about
"/lib/modprobe.d".
Trivial fix but I'm sending a patch anyway!
Thanks,
Brian
