/*
* This module is used to load Apache modules at runtime. This means that the
* server functionality can be extended without recompiling and even without
* taking the server down at all. Only a HUP or WINCH signal needs to be send
* to the server to reload the dynamically loaded modules.
*
* To use, you'll first need to build your module as a shared library, then
* update your configuration (httpd.conf) to get the Apache core to load the
* module at start-up.
*
* The easiest way to build a module as a shared library is to use the
* `SharedModule' command in the Configuration file, instead of `AddModule'.
* You should also change the file extension from `.o' to `.so'. So, for
* example, to build the status module as a shared library edit Configuration
* and change
* AddModule modules/standard/mod_status.o
* to
* SharedModule modules/standard/mod_status.so
*
* Run Configure and make. Now Apache's httpd binary will _not_ include
* mod_status. Instead a shared object called mod_status.so will be build, in
* libraries like this.
*
* To use the shared module, move the .so file(s) into an appropriate
* directory. You might like to create a directory called "modules" under you
*
* Then edit your conf/httpd.conf file, and add LoadModule lines. For
* example
* LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
*
* The first argument is the module's structure name (look at the end of the
* module source to find this). The second option is the path to the module
* file, relative to the server root. Put these directives right at the top
* of your httpd.conf file.
*
* Now you can start Apache. A message will be logged at "debug" level to your
* error_log to confirm that the module(s) are loaded (use "LogLevel debug"
* directive to get these log messages).
*
* If you edit the LoadModule directives while the server is live you can get
* Apache to re-load the modules by sending it a HUP or WINCH signal as normal.
* You can use this to dynamically change the capability of your server
* without bringing it down.
*
* Because currently there is only limited builtin support in the Configure
* script for creating the shared library files (`.so'), please consult your
* vendors cc(1), ld(1) and dlopen(3) manpages to find out the appropriate
* compiler and linker flags and insert them manually into the Configuration
* file under CFLAGS_SHLIB, LDFLAGS_SHLIB and LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT.
*
* If you still have problems figuring out the flags both try the paper
* /unix/svrplug.htm#1013807
* or install a Perl 5 interpreter on your platform and then run the command
*
* $ perl -V:usedl -V:ccdlflags -V:cccdlflags -V:lddlflags
*
* This gives you what type of dynamic loading Perl 5 uses on your platform
* and which compiler and linker flags Perl 5 uses to create the shared object
* files.
*
* Another location where you can find useful hints is the `ltconfig' script
* of the GNU libtool 1.2 package. Search for your platform name inside the
* various "case" constructs.
