module-rebuild --help
/usr/sbin/module-rebuild: illegal option -- -

Oh, apparently --help is not enabled; but if you run it either with no
options or an 'illegal' option, you get the 'proper usage help', as is
standard for most Linux command-line probrams.

module-rebuild [options] action [category/package]
Version: 0.5

Where options are:
	-X       - Emerge based on package names,
	           not exact versions.
	-C       - Disable all coloured output.

Where action is one of:
	add      - Add package to moduledb.
	del      - Delete a package from moduledb.
	toggle   - Toggle auto-rebuild of Package.
	list     - List packages to auto-rebuild.
	rebuild  - Rebuild packages.
	populate - Populate the database with any
	           packages which currently install
	           drivers into the running kernel.


Do you need more than that? It's a pretty simple module atm.
