Features:
* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
bsearch().
* config: load on demand
* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
* insmod and rmmod with dependency handling. Maybe this should be done by the
binary, and it's sufficient to return only the lists from lookups.
^-- investigate the best API
* create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
so we're able to create unit tests
* provide ELF manipulation to implement modinfo
* provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe, missing:
- parse options from kernel command line (modname.opt=val)
- provide softdeps
- show modversions (needs elf manipulation)
- show config (list all known options, install, remove, softdep...)
- show list (lists all modules known by modules.dep)
- return install/remove commands for non-modules:
install nonexistentmodule somecommand
modprobe nonexistentmodule -> runs somecommand
