#### Linux kernel driver tree, ELF .modinfo metadata & hardware modalias catalog

System Hardware Driver Catalog is an installed kernel module explorer, pure-Python ELF
.modinfo metadata viewer, and hardware modalias binding inspector for Linux systems.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop installed driver list utilities, it
indexes /lib/modules kernel trees, built-in driver manifests, live /proc/modules state,
and /sys/devices hardware modalias bindings.

Key Features:

* Kernel Driver Tree & Built-in Indexer: Catalogs loadable .ko modules, modules.dep
  dependencies, modules.builtin drivers, and modules.alias rules from host /lib/modules
  with automatic fallback to /sys/module and /sys/bus/\*/drivers on custom kernels.
* Pure-Python ELF .modinfo Inspector: Reads .modinfo sections directly from uncompressed
  and compressed .ko binaries alongside modules.builtin.modinfo to display descriptions,
  authors, licenses, vermagic strings, dependencies, and module parameters.
* Hardware Modalias Correlation: Enumerates /sys/devices/\*\*/modalias nodes across PCI,
  USB, ACPI, platform, NVMe, VirtIO, and VMBus buses and correlates each device with its
  active bound driver and matching modules.alias patterns.
* Subsystem Breakdown & Export: Summarizes driver counts and disk footprint by kernel
  subsystem and exports full inventories to CSV and JSON.
