/* modules.c
 * This is the implementation of syslogd modules object.
 * This object handles plug-ins and build-in modules of all kind.
 *
 * Modules are reference-counted. Anyone who access a module must call
 * Use() before any function is accessed and Release() when he is done.
 * When the reference count reaches 0, rsyslog unloads the module (that
 * may be changed in the future to cache modules). Rsyslog does NOT
 * unload modules with a reference count > 0, even if the unload
 * method is called!
