<para>
The <filename>module</filename> class provides support for building
out-of-tree Linux kernel modules.
The class inherits the
<link linkend='ref-classes-module-base'><filename>module-base</filename></link>
and
<link linkend='ref-classes-kernel-module-split'><filename>kernel-module-split</filename></link>
classes, and implements <filename>do_compile</filename> and
<filename>do_install</filename> functions.
The class provides everything needed to build and package a kernel
module.

For general information on out-of-tree Linux kernel modules, see the

<para>
The <filename>module-base</filename> class provides the base
functionality for building Linux kernel modules.
Typically, a recipe that builds software that includes one or
more kernel modules and has its own means of building
the module inherits this class as opposed to inheriting the
<link linkend='ref-classes-module'><filename>module</filename></link>
class.
