module loading

Module loading is the process by which a computer system dynamically adds extra features or functionalities to its core software (like an operating system) as needed, without restarting. Think of modules as optional tools or extensions that enhance capabilities. When a program requires a specific function, the system loads the relevant module into memory, enabling it to perform the task. This approach keeps the main system lightweight and flexible, allowing for customization and efficient resource use. Once the task is complete, modules can be unloaded to free up resources.
