+# Multiple Modules as Dependencies
+
+A WASM module can _import_ _functions_, _globals_, _memories_ and _tables_ from other modules as dependencies. A module can also _export_ those entities for other modules like a library.
+
+WAMR loads all dependencies recursively according to the _import section_ of a module.
+
+> WAMR only implements the load-time dynamic linking. Please refer to [dynamic linking](https://webassembly.org/docs/dynamic-linking/) for more details.
+
+WAMR follows [WASI Command/Reactor Model](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/blob/main/design/application-abi.md#current-unstable-abi). The WASI model separates modules into commands and reactors. A Command is the main module that requires exports of reactors(submodules).
+
+if `WASM_ENABLE_LIBC_WASI` is enabled, any module imports a WASI APIs, like `(import "wasi_snapshot_preview1" "XXX")`, should follow restrictions of the _WASI application ABI_:
+
+- a main module(a command) should include `_start()`
+- a submodule(a reactor) should include `_initialize()`
+- both a command and a reactor should include an exported `memory`
+
+## Multi-Module Related APIs
+
+### Register a module
+
+```c
+bool
+wasm_runtime_register_module(const char *module_name,
+ wasm_module_t module,
+ char *error_buf,
+ uint32_t error_buf_size);
+```
+
+It is used to register a _module_ with a _module_name_ to WASM runtime, especially for the main module, which is loaded by `wasm_runtime_load()` and doesn't have a chance to tell runtime its _module name_.
+
+WAMR will get submodules' names(according to the _import section_ of the main module) and load .wasm files from the filesystem or stream and then register them internally.
+
+### Find a registered module
+
+```c
+wasm_module_t
+wasm_runtime_find_module_registered(
+ const char *module_name);
+```
+
+It is used to check whether a module with a given _module_name_ has been registered before or not. Return the module if yes.
+
+### Module reader and destroyer
+
+```c
+typedef bool (*module_reader)(const char *module_name,
+ uint8_t **p_buffer,
+ uint32_t *p_size);
+
+typedef void (*module_destroyer)(uint8_t *buffer,
+ uint32_t size);
+
+void
+wasm_runtime_set_module_reader(const module_reader reader,
+ const module_destroyer destroyer);
+```
+
+WAMR hopes that the native host or embedding environment loads/unloads the module WASM files by themselves and only passes runtime the binary content without worrying about filesystem or storage issues. `module_reader` and `module_destroyer` are two callbacks called when dynamic-loading/unloading submodules. Developers must implement the two callbacks by themselves.
+
+### Call function of a submodule
+
+```c
+wasm_function_inst_t
+wasm_runtime_lookup_function(wasm_module_inst_t const module_inst,
+ const char *name,
+ const char *signature);
+```
+
+Multi-module allows one to look up an exported function of a submodule. There are two ways to indicate the function _name_:
+
+- parent function name only by default, used to look up the function of the parent module
+- submodule name, function name and two $ symbols, e.g. `$submodule_name$function_name`, used to lookup function of submodule
+- `signature` can be NULL
+
+## Example
+
+### Attributes in C/C++
+
+Suppose there are three C files, _mA.c_, _mB.c_ and _mC.c_. Each of them exports functions and imports from others except mA.
+
+import/export with two kinds of `__attribute__`:
+
+- `__attribute__((import_module("MODULE_NAME"))) __attribute__((import_name("FUNCTION_NAME")))`. to indicate dependencies of the current module.
+
+- `__attribute__((export_name("FUNCTION_NAME")))`. to expose functions.
+
+```C
+// mA.c
+__attribute__((export_name("A1"))) int
+A1()
+{
+ return 11;
+}
+```
+
+```C
+// mB.c
+__attribute__((import_module("mA")))
+__attribute__((import_name("A1"))) extern int
+A1();
+
+__attribute__((export_name("B1"))) int
+B1()
+{
+ return 21;
+}
+```
+
+### Compile Options
+
+to generate a wasm module as a command
+
+```
+$ /path/to/wasi-sdk/bin/clang -o command.wasm main_module.c
+```
+
+to generate a wasm module as a reactor
+
+```
+$ /path/to/wasi-sdk/bin/clang -mexec-model=reactor -o reactor.wasm submodule.c
+```
+
+In the above case, _mA_ and _mB_ are reactors(submodules), _mC_ is the command(main module). Their _import relationships_ will be like:
+
+![import relationships](./pics/multi_module_pic1.png)
+
+### libvmlib
+
+We need to enable _WAMR_BUILD_MULTI_MODULE_ option when building WAMR vmlib. Please ref to [Build WAMR core](./build_wamr.md) for a thoughtful guide.
+
+### code
+
+After all the preparation, we can call some functions from native code with APIs
+
+First, create two callbacks to load WASM module files into memory and unload them later
+
+```c
+static bool
+module_reader_cb(const char *module_name, uint8 **p_buffer, uint32 *p_size)
+{
+ // ...
+ *p_buffer = (uint8_t *)bh_read_file_to_buffer(wasm_file_path, p_size);
+ // ...
+}
+
+static void
+module_destroyer_cb(uint8 *buffer, uint32 size)
+{
+ BH_FREE(buffer);
+}
+```
+
+Second, create a large buffer and tell WAMR malloc any resource only from this buffer later.
+
+More details
+
+```c
+static char sandbox_memory_space[10 * 1024 * 1024] = { 0 };
+```
+
+Third, put all together. Please refer to [main.c](../samples/multi-module/src/main.c)
