NAME
MODULE_DEPEND —
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/module.h>
MODULE_DEPEND(name,
moddepend,
int minversion,
int prefversion,
int maxversion);
DESCRIPTION
TheMODULE_DEPEND() macro sets a dependency on another
kernel module with name moddepend, which has registered
its version with MODULE_VERSION().
The MODULE_DEPEND() macro provides hints
to the kernel
loader(8)
and to the kernel linker to ensure that the named dependency is loaded prior
to the existing module. It does not change or dictate the order in which
modules are initialized at runtime.
Three versions must be specified for moddepend:
- minversion
- The minimum version on which the current module can depend.
- maxversion
- The maximum version on which the current module can depend.
- prefversion
- The preferred version on which the current module can depend.
EXAMPLES
MODULE_DEPEND(foo, bar, 1, 3, 4);
