/lib/modules/ structure

Dear all
I am new in kernel development. I need a brief explanation of '/lib/module/kernel-version/' folder structure. What content present inside 'build' folder?

'build' is a link to a folder ....
namely /usr/src/linux-2.6.xx.x/

Which is the kernel source code to build
a module ( or a modified kernel.)
....

Thanks for reply

But this seem true for pre installed kernel, if i download latest kernel source from kernel.org and then compile it, i found a number of folders inside 'build' folder.

thanks
