.TH KERNEL\-WEDGE\-PREPROCESS 1 "June 2019" "Kernel-wedge"
.SH NAME
kernel\-wedge\-preprocess \- process a module list file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kernel\-wedge preprocess
.I module-list module-dir
.SH DESCRIPTION
Preprocesses the \fImodule-list\fR, performing list includes and module
excludes, removing blank lines and comments, and expanding wildcards.
Emits a list of filenames to stdout.

Return 1 if a required module or directory is missing, unless
$KW_CHECK_NONFATAL is non-empty.

The supported wildcards are:

.TS
nokeep;
lB	l.
?	Match a single character within a path component
*	Match any number of characters within a path component
**	Match any number of characters including multiple path components
.TE

On Linux, '\-' and '_' also match each other since the kernel and kmod
treat them as equivalent in module names.
