[0/8] Random fixes + modinfo --modname

Message

Lucas De Marchi Feb. 16, 2022, 7:55 a.m. UTC

First commits are some random fixes and refactors while preparing the
code base for a new API: kmod_module_new_from_name_lookup(). This new
function is used by modinfo to allow handling the argument as a module
name instead of alias or file. Main motivation is to allow to bypass
aliases set by kernel or user configuration that would otherwise forbid
to get the info from a particular module. Although for modules it's
possible to just find the correspondent file, this is not possible
for builtin modules.

Lucas De Marchi (8):
  test-initstate: Check for negative value on error
  libkmod-module: Fix return code for kmod_module_new_from_lookup()
  gitignore: ignore gtk-doc.make
  libkmod: Add helper function to iterate lookup options
  libkmod: Update docs about indexes order
  libkmod: Add lookup from module name
  modinfo: Update help message with "modulename"
  modinfo: Allow to force arg as module name
