Re: [PATCH] generate module-info on the fly

Hi,

It's a COOL and useful tool.

by the way, I have a question about module format.
according to module-info comment, this format is the
following.

#  |<module-name>
#  |  <module-type> [<module-alias>]
#  |  "<description-string>"
#  |  <argument> "<argument-description-string>" ["<match-regex>"
["<default>"]]
#  |# <comment>

but attached scripts does not take care of "<argument>".
actually I've never used "<argument>", so I do not know
it will be used in next version and for what.

thank you,
