+.TH "modinfo" "8"
+.SH "NAME"
+modinfo \(em program to show information about a Linux Kernel module
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+\fBmodinfo\fR [\fB-0\fP] [\fB-F \fIfield\fR\fP] [modulename|filename \&...]
+.PP
+\fBmodinfo -V\fR
+.PP
+\fBmodinfo -h\fR
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBmodinfo\fR extracts information from the Linux
+Kernel modules given on the command line. If the module name is
+not a filename, then the
+\fB/lib/modules/\fP\fIversion\fR directory is searched, as done by
+\fBmodprobe\fP\fB(8)\fP.
+
+.PP
+\fBmodinfo\fR by default lists each attribute
+of the module in form \fIfieldname\fR :
+\fIvalue\fR, for easy reading. The
+filename is listed the same way (although it's not really an
+attribute).
+
+.PP
+This version of \fBmodinfo\fR can understand
+modules of any Linux Kernel architecture.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IP "\fB-V\fP \fB--version\fP " 10
+Print the modinfo version. Note BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
+below: you might be printing the version of
+\fBmodinfo.old\fR.
+
+.IP "\fB-F\fP \fB--field\fP " 10
+Only print this field value, one per line. This is most
+useful for scripts. Field names are case-insenitive.
+Common fields (which may not be in every module) include
+\fBauthor\fP, \fBdescription\fP,
+\fBlicense\fP, \fBparam\fP,
+\fBdepends\fP, and \fBalias\fP.
+There are often multiple \fBparam\fP,
+\fBalias\fP and \fBdepends\fP fields. The special field \fBfilename\fP lists the filename of the module.
+
+.IP "\fB-0\fP \fB--null\fP " 10
+Use the ASCII zero character to separate field values,
+instead of a new line. This is useful for scripts, since
+a new line can theoretically appear inside a field.
+
+.IP "\fB-a\fP \fB-d\fP \fB-l\fP \fB-p\fP \fB-n\fP " 10
+These are shortcuts for \fBauthor\fP,
+\fBdescription\fP,
+\fBlicense\fP. \fBparam\fP and
+\fBfilename\fP respectively, to ease the
+transition from the old modutils
+\fBmodinfo\fR.
+
+.SH "BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+This version of \fBmodinfo\fR is for kernel
+modules \fB2.5.48\fP and above. If it detects a
+kernel with support for old-style modules, it will attempt to
+run \fBmodprobe.old\fR in its place, so it is
+completely transparent to the user.
+.PP
+Note that the output of this version of
+\fBmodinfo\fR is simpler and more regular than
+the older version: scripts attempting to use the default
+output may get confused with complex fields.
+
+.PP
+You can force the new \fBmodinfo\fR to always
+be used, by setting the \fBNEW_MODINFO\fP environment variable.
