From: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> The depmod.d configuration order/handling aligns with existing tools such as sysctl.d, even though there is no mention in the manual. Reorder the list in SYNOPSIS and add a bit of verbiage describing things. Section is copied^Winspired by sysctl.d(5) ;-) Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx> --- man/Makefile.am | 1 + man/depmod.d.5.scd | 22 ++++++++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/Makefile.am b/man/Makefile.am index 25135e9..181f619 100644 --- a/man/Makefile.am +++ b/man/Makefile.am @@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ CLEANFILES = $(dist_man_MANS) define generate_manpage $(AM_V_SCDOC)cat $< | \ + sed -e 's|@SYSCONFDIR@|$(sysconfdir)|g' | \ sed -e 's|@DISTCONFDIR@|$(distconfdir)|g' | \ sed -e 's|@MODULE_DIRECTORY@|$(module_directory)|g' | \ $(SCDOC) > $@ diff --git a/man/depmod.d.5.scd b/man/depmod.d.5.scd index 9cf99d5..9ee35e8 100644 --- a/man/depmod.d.5.scd +++ b/man/depmod.d.5.scd @@ -6,15 +6,15 @@ depmod.d - Configuration directory for depmod # SYNOPSIS -/lib/depmod.d/\*.conf +@SYSCONFDIR@/depmod.d/\*.conf -@DISTCONFDIR@/depmod.d/\*.conf +/run/depmod.d/\*.conf /usr/local/lib/depmod.d/\*.conf -/run/depmod.d/\*.conf +@DISTCONFDIR@/depmod.d/\*.conf -/etc/depmod.d/\*.conf +/lib/depmod.d/\*.conf # DESCRIPTION @@ -29,6 +29,20 @@ lines and lines starting with '#' ignored (useful for adding comments).
