In this two-minute whiteboard demonstration, The Linux Foundation's Training Instructor John Bonesio demonstrates how the depmod utility works in the Linux and Unix command directory. Inside kernel objects, or modules, it's not just binary data, but a collection of tables. After initialization, each section is kept separate to keep track of where they're loaded in memory.
