-
- <P>
- Each Apache module is described using a common format that looks
- like this:
- </P>
- <DL>
- <DD><A
- HREF="#Status"
- REL="Help"
- ><STRONG>Status:</STRONG></A> <EM>status</EM>
- <BR>
- <A
- HREF="#SourceFile"
- REL="Help"
- ><STRONG>Source File:</STRONG></A> <EM>source-file</EM>

- <A
- HREF="#ModuleIdentifier"
- REL="Help"
- ><STRONG>Module Identifier:</STRONG></A> <EM>module-identifier</EM>
- <BR>
- <A
- HREF="#Compatibility"
- REL="Help"
- ><STRONG>Compatibility:</STRONG></A> <EM>compatibility notes</EM>
- </DD>
- </DL>
- <P>
- Each of the attributes, complete with values where possible, are
- described in this document.

- <HR>
- <H2><A NAME="Status">Status</A></H2>
- <P>
- This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server the
- module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the server in
- order to gain access to the module and its functionality. Possible
- values for this attribute are:
- </P>
- <DL>
- <DT><STRONG>MPM</STRONG>
- </DT>
- <DD>A module with status &quot;MPM&quot; is a <a
- href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the other
- types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM in use at
- any time. This type of module is responsible for basic request
- handling and dispatching.
- <P>
- </P>
- <DT><STRONG>Base</STRONG>
- </DT>
- <DD>A module labeled as having &quot;Base&quot; status is compiled
- and loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally
- available unless you have taken steps to remove the module from your
- configuration.
- <P>
- </P>
- </DD>
- <DT><STRONG>Extension</STRONG>
- </DT>
- <DD>A module with &quot;Extension&quot; status is not normally
- compiled and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its
- functionality, you may need to change the server build
- configuration files and re-compile Apache.
- <P>
- </P>
- </DD>
- <DT><STRONG>Experimental</STRONG>
- </DT>
- <DD>&quot;Experimental&quot; status indicates that the module is
- available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own if you
- try to use it. The module is being documented for completeness,
- and is not necessarily supported.
- <P>
- </P>
- </DD>
- <DT><STRONG>External</STRONG>
- </DT>
- <DD>Modules which are not included with the base Apache
- distribution (&quot;third-party modules&quot;) may use the
- &quot;External&quot; status. We are not responsible for, nor do we
- support such modules.
- <P>
- </P>
- </DD>
- </DL>
-
- <HR>
- <H2><A NAME="SourceFile">Source File</A></H2>
- <P>
- This quite simply lists the name of the source file which contains
- the code for the module. This is also the name used by the <A
- HREF="core.html#ifmodule"><CODE>&lt;IfModule&gt;</CODE></A>
- directive.
- </P>
-
- <HR>
- <H2><A NAME="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</A></H2>
- <P>
- This is a string which identifies the module for use in the <A
- HREF="mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</A> directive when
- dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name
- of the external variable of type module in the source file.
- </P>
-
- <HR>
- <H2><A NAME="Compatibility">Compatibility</A></H2>
- <P>
- If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2
- distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be listed
- here.
