Actually that's one of the easier parts to deliver ... since "modinfo" already exposes that, it's just a shell script to dump it out into a form that a document generation system can then play with. No modutils patch necessary. In fact, since I'm not always patient, I hacked that together and put together part of the kind of system I want to see. Take a peek at this (temporary?) URL, and send along any comments that come to mind -- yes, none of the device or class info shows up: http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/kernel.html The shell script that extracts "modinfo" data is "modinfo.sh", and an example of its output is there, "modinfo.xml". That's for a kernel with most USB drivers as modules, but very few PCI/Cardbus drivers configured. > I am > holding off on modutils work until Linus/Alan realises that we need the > kernel patch to add version numbers to device tables, I want an agreed > working base to extend on. Yes, that's a problem.
