2.17.5. modu_LoadModule

@c Load a module

This function loads a module and returns the module pointer to in the argument pThisModule. If the module is already loaded it just returns the module pointer.

When the function is called first time for a module it loads the module, calls the version negotiation function and the module initializer.

If module file name given in the argument pszLibrary file name is an absolute file name this is used as it is. Otherwise the different configured module directories are seached for the module file, and the operating system specific extension is also appended to the file name automatically.

If the caller does not need the pointer to the module the argument pThisModule can be NULL.

int modu_LoadModule(pExecuteObject pEo,
                    char *pszLibraryFile,
                    pModule **pThisModule
  ){
