+# Depmod output may be hard to diff.
+# This script sorts dependencies within "xx.ko: yy.ko zz.ko" lines,
+# and sorts all lines too.
+# Usage:
+#
+# [./busybox] depmod -n | ./depmod_process.sh | sort >OUTFILE
+#
+# and then you can diff OUTFILEs. Useful for comparing bbox depmod
+# with module-init-tools depmod and such.
