MODULES.CONF(5)

✨ NAME ✨

modules.conf — the kernel module config file, aka MODULES.CONF(5) if you're being all formal 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so bestie, the modules.conf file gets read by the modules rc.d script during system start-up, and its whole main-character job is loading modules at boot — before the system security level is raised. Slay. 🔥

🧚 FILE FORMAT 🧚

Lines starting with a hash (#) and empty lines are ignored. Every other line gets passed to modload(8). That's the vibe check, fr fr. ✨

No cap: keep it simple, keep those lines clean. 💖

🌸 FILES 🌸

• /etc/modules.conf — the modules.conf configuration file resides in /etc. 🎀
• /etc/rc.d/modules — the rc.d(8) script that parses modules.conf. 🦋

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

modload(8), rc(8)
