43 <h2><a name="Description" id="Description">Description</a></h2>
45 <p>A brief description of the purpose of the module.</p>
46 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
48 <h2><a name="Status" id="Status">Status</a></h2>
50 <p>This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server
51 the module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the
52 server in order to gain access to the module and its
53 functionality. Possible values for this attribute are:</p>
58 <dd>A module with status "MPM" is a <a href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the
59 other types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM
60 in use at any time. This type of module is responsible for
61 basic request handling and dispatching.</dd>
65 <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" status is compiled and
66 loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally
67 available unless you have taken steps to remove the module
68 from your configuration.</dd>
72 <dd>A module with "Extension" status is not normally compiled
73 and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its
74 functionality, you may need to change the server build
75 configuration files and re-compile Apache.</dd>
79 <dd>"Experimental" status indicates that the module is
80 available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own
81 if you try to use it. The module is being documented for
82 completeness, and is not necessarily supported.</dd>
86 <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache
87 distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External"
88 status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such
91 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
93 <h2><a name="SourceFile" id="SourceFile">Source File</a></h2>
95 <p>This quite simply lists the name of the source file which
96 contains the code for the module. This is also the name used by
97 the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code>
99 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
100 <div class="section">
101 <h2><a name="ModuleIdentifier" id="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></h2>
103 <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
104 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive when
105 dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
106 the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>
107 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
108 <div class="section">
109 <h2><a name="Compatibility" id="Compatibility">Compatibility</a></h2>
111 <p>If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2
112 distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be
113 listed here. In addition, if the module is limited to
114 particular platforms, the details will be listed here.</p>
