# 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.
