What would be the correct way to get the filename of a

The symbole names used in source code, like function names tend to use "_", while the file names use "-" IMHO.


Naturally the symbols in the code use '_', cause for C '-'
is not allowed within symbol names.

I am interested in the module file names. 'cat /proc/modules'
should return the correct module names, but for some modules
(like uhci_hcd vs uhci-hcd.ko) '_' and '-' are messed up.

According to the modprobe man page, the two symbols are interchangeable.
