+
+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>
