Hello,

I need to create a database with configuration options (the ones
in .config) and the resulting kernel modules.

Is there any simple possibility (with bash and its applications) to find
out, which kernel modules will be built by which .config options? I know
that there are also many dependencies between the options and the modules
and I want to add them to the database too. The dependencies can be found
out with the Kconfig files, I think.

I've already looked into the source files of some modules, but I can not
find any commonalities which would make it easy to find the module-name
which will be build.

I've found some stuff like this:
#define DRIVER_NAME "8139too"
or things linke:
#define <something>_MODULES_NAME "some string which seems to be the
descriptive name"

But this doesn't really help... :(

Sincerely

Alexander Mieland
