Nice. How did you know about modinfo?
I did a man on lsmod, modprobe, insmod, and rmmod, none of which
reference modinfo. A man on modinfo did reference modprobe. Since
cross-referencing seems inomplete, I tried this to see what other
interesting module commands may show up:
$ man -k module | grep -i kernel
pcimodules looks interesting, although I'm not quite clear on how it
differs from lsmod.
