- <div class="section">
- <h2><a name="Status" id="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>MPM</dt>
-
- <dd>A module with status "MPM" 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.</dd>
-
- <dt>Base</dt>
-
- <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" 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.</dd>
-
- <dt>Extension</dt>
-
- <dd>A module with "Extension" 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.</dd>
-
- <dt>Experimental</dt>
-
- <dd>"Experimental" 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.</dd>
-
- <dt>External</dt>
-
- <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache
- distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External"
- status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such
- modules.</dd>
- </dl>

- <div class="section">
- <h2><a name="SourceFile" id="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 <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#ifmodule"><IfModule></a></code>
- directive.</p>
- </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
- <div class="section">
- <h2><a name="ModuleIdentifier" id="ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></h2>
-
- <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
- <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a></code> directive when
- dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
- the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>

-
- <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. In addition, if the module is limited to
- particular platforms, the details will be listed here.</p>
