module-rebuild --help
/usr/sbin/module-rebuild: illegal option -- -
Oh, apparently --help is not enabled; but if you run it either with no
options or an 'illegal' option, you get the 'proper usage help', as is
standard for most Linux command-line probrams.
module-rebuild [options] action [category/package]
Version: 0.5
Where options are:
-X - Emerge based on package names,
not exact versions.
-C - Disable all coloured output.
Where action is one of:
add - Add package to moduledb.
del - Delete a package from moduledb.
toggle - Toggle auto-rebuild of Package.
list - List packages to auto-rebuild.
rebuild - Rebuild packages.
populate - Populate the database with any
packages which currently install
drivers into the running kernel.
Do you need more than that? It's a pretty simple module atm.
