# Modules configuration

All res_ resource modules are loaded with globals on, which means that non-static functions are callable from other modules.

If you want your non res_* module to export functions to other modules you have to include it in the [global] section.

    autoload=yes

    ; Any modules that need to be loaded before the Asterisk core has been
    ; initialized (just after the logger has been initialized) can be loaded
    ; using 'preload'. This will frequently be needed if you wish to map all
    ; module configuration files into Realtime storage, since the Realtime
    ; driver will need to be loaded before the modules using those configuration
    ; files are initialized.
    ;
    ; An example of loading ODBC support would be:
    ;preload => res_odbc.so
    ;preload => res_config_odbc.so
    ;
    ; If you want, load the GTK console right away.
    ; Don't load the KDE console since
    ; it's not as sophisticated right now.

    noload => pbx_kdeconsole.so
    ;
    ; Intercom application is obsoleted by
    ; chan_oss.  Don't load it.
    ;
    noload => app_intercom.so
    ;
    ; The 'modem' channel driver and its subdrivers are
    ; obsolete, don't load them.
    ;
    noload => chan_modem.so
    noload => chan_modem_aopen.so
    noload => chan_modem_bestdata.so
    noload => chan_modem_i4l.so

    load => res_musiconhold.so

    ; Load either OSS or ALSA, not both
    ; By default, load OSS only (automatically) and do not load ALSA
    ;
    noload => chan_alsa.so
    ;noload => chan_oss.so
    ;
    ; Module names listed in "global" section will have symbols globally
    ; exported to modules loaded after them.
