--- Comment #13 from Harald Anlauf <anlauf at gmx dot de> ---
Since Cray was mentioned, the Cray online documentation says:
[...]
The following files are produced by or accepted by the Cray Fortran compiler:
[...]
modulename.mod
If the -em option is specified, the compiler writes a
modulename.mod file for each module; modulename is created by
taking the name of the module and, if necessary, converting it to
uppercase. This file contains module information, including any
contained module procedures.
I consider that an example of a reasonable documentation.
Gfortran generated module files (modulename.mod) are always lower case.
Gfortran creates a .mod file not only for -c, but also for -fsyntax-only,
and apparently always when it is presented a source file which contains
a module statement. It should not be that difficult to put that into the
documentation.
