+ <h1 align="CENTER">Module mod_dld</h1>
+ <strong><font color="red">This module is obsolete. As of
+ version 1.3 of Apache, it has been replaced with <a
+ href="mod_so.html">mod_so</a>.</font></strong> This module is
+ contained in the <code>mod_dld.c</code> file, and is not
+ compiled in by default. It provides for loading of executable
+ code and modules into the server at start-up time, using the
+ GNU dld library.
+
+ <h2>Summary</h2>
+ The optional dld module is a proof-of-concept piece of code
+ which loads other modules into the server as it is configuring
+ itself (the first time only; for now, rereading the config
+ files cannot affect the state of loaded modules), using the GNU
+ dynamic linking library, DLD. It isn't compiled into the server
+ by default, since not everyone has DLD, but it works when I try
+ it. (Famous last words.)
+
+ <p>Note that for some reason, <code>LoadFile /lib/libc.a</code>
+ seems to be required for just about everything.</p>
+
+ <p>Note: that DLD needs to read the symbol table out of the
+ server binary when starting up; these commands will fail if the
+ server can't find its own binary when it starts up, or if that
+ binary is stripped.</p>

+ <p>The LoadFile directive links in the named object files or
+ libraries when the server is started; this is used to load
+ additional code which may be required for some module to work.
+ <em>Filename</em> is relative to <a
+ href="core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a>.</p>

+
+ <p>The LoadModule directive links in the object file or library
+ <em>filename</em> and adds the module structure named
+ <em>module</em> to the list of active modules. <em>Module</em>
+ is the name of the external variable of type
+ <code>module</code> in the file. Example:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <code>LoadModule ai_backcompat_module
+ modules/mod_ai_backcompat.o<br />
+ LoadFile /lib/libc.a</code>
+ </blockquote>
+ loads the module in the modules subdirectory of the ServerRoot.
