+Modules
+=======
+
+Knot Resolver functionality consists of separate modules, which allow you
+to mix-and-match features you need without slowing down operation
+by features you do not use.
+
+This practically means that you need to load module before using features contained in it, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+ -- load module and make dnstap features available
+ modules.load('dnstap')
+ -- configure dnstap features
+ dnstap.config({
+ socket_path = "/tmp/dnstap.sock"
+ })
+
+Obviously ordering matters, so you have to load module first and configure it after it is loaded.
+
+Here is full reference manual for module configuration:
+
+
+.. function:: modules.list()
+
+ :return: List of loaded modules.
+
+.. function:: modules.load(name)
+
+ :param string name: Module name, e.g. "hints"
+ :return: ``true`` if modules was (or already is) loaded, error otherwise.
+
+ Load a module by name.
+
+.. function:: modules.unload(name)
+
+ :param string name: Module name, e.g. "detect_time_jump"
+ :return: ``true`` if modules was unloaded, error otherwise.
+
+ Unload a module by name. This is useful for unloading modules loaded by default, mainly for debugging purposes.
