<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I&#8217;m trying to understand how the modules are loaded in
asterisk. I can see that every module has a &#8220;load_module&#8221; and &#8220;unload_module&#8221;
function. And I can see in main/loader.c in the load_dynamic_module() function
the call to dlopen() on the module.so file path.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>But what I am not seeing is where the just-loaded-module&#8217;s
&#8220;load_module&#8221; function is called, which registers the module and
its functions to the main core lists.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Take, for example, app_mp3. I type &#8220;module load app_mp3.so&#8221;
which calls main/cli:handle_load(), which passes to main/loader:ast_load_resource(),
then main/loader:load_resource then main/loader:load_dynamic_module() which
then calls the dlopen().<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>But again, nowhere along that path do I see anything calling
app_mp3&#8217;s load_module() function.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><br>
What am I missing?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
