That attribute allows us to instruct the Clang Static Analyzer to stop giving some false positives. However when building the code (with gcc and clang) they warn that the attribute is ignored. Just ignore as we know what the attribute is for. Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> Link: https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/pull/233 |

kmod - Linux kernel module handling
OVERVIEW
kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.
These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from module-init-tools project.

Compilation and installation
In order to compile the source code you need the following software packages:
- GCC/CLANG compiler
- GNU C library / musl / uClibc
Optional dependencies, required with the default build configuration:
- ZLIB library
- LZMA library
- ZSTD library
- OPENSSL library (signature handling in modinfo)
Typical configuration and installation
meson setup builddir/
meson compile -C builddir/
sudo meson install -C builddir/
For end-user and distributions builds, it's recommended to use:
meson setup --buildtype release builddir/
Alternatively you can try autotools build. NOTE: The autotools build is slated for removal with kmod v35
./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
make && make install
Hacking
When working on kmod, use the included build-dev.ini file, as:
meson setup --native-file build-dev.ini builddir/
Make sure to read our contributing guide and the other READMEs: libkmod and testsuite.
Compatibility with module-init-tools
kmod replaced module-init-tools, which was EOL'ed in 2011. All the tools were rewritten on top of libkmod and they can be used as drop in replacements. Along the years there were a few behavior changes and new features implemented, following feedback from Linux kernel community and distros.
