<h2><a name="Modules-UnloadModule"></a>Unload Module</h2>

<pre class="theme: Confluence; brush: java; gutter: false">static int unload_module():</pre>
</div></div>
<p>The module will soon be unloaded. If any channels are using your features, you should give them a softhangup in an effort to keep the program from crashing. Generally, unload_module is only called when the usecount is 0 or less, but the user can force unloading at their discretion, and thus a module should do its best to comply (although in some cases there may be no way to avoid a crash). This function should return 0 on success and non-zero on failure (i.e. it cannot yet be unloaded).</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="theme: Confluence; brush: java; gutter: false">/*!
* \brief Unload Module
*/
static int unload_module(void)

if (active_use) {
return -1;
