<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Module mod_so</H1>
This module is contained in the <CODE>mod_so.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, on Unix systems. Win32
systems use <A HREF="mod_dll.html">mod_dll</A> instead. This module is
only available in Apache 1.3 and up.
<h2>Summary</h2>
This is an experimental module. On selected operating systems it can
be used to load modules into Apache at runtime, rather than requiring
a recompilation.

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:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
loads the module in the modules subdirectory of the ServerRoot.<P>
