A module is a set of function and data structures that are defined in a data structure that

provides all the information and pointers to specific methods and functions to the kernel.

This later checks the integrity and the validity of the module and inserts its structure into a

module table. Each module is identified by a unique ID. When two modules have the same

ID, the Kernel rejects the second one. The module structure is defined as follows:

•

Id: unique module identifier

•

Name: pointer to the module name

•

kModuleId: module identifier

•

kModulePreExec: pre-execution function to allocate resources prior to the execution

•

kModuleExec: execution function

•

kModulePostExec: post-execution function to release resources

•

kModuleResourceCheck: function to check the resource requirements after the module

was added to the kernel
