But this requires some very ugly workarounds outside of module-init-tools. For example, if you want to check whether a module $module_name has already been loaded, you cannot use
grep -q "^${module_name} " /proc/modules
Instead you have to use a workaround like
x="`echo $module_name | sed -e 's/-/_/g'`" cat /proc/modules | sed -e 's/-/_/g' | grep -q "^${x} "
This is inefficient and error-prone.
Maybe somebody has another idea for the workaround, but I like the first version.
