125.1. Summary of Module Globals

List of Global Functions

ChangeM - Commit data to Modules[name]
Export - Export data
HwUp - Call HwUp for hardware that is not handled by hotplug (#44626) Probably obsoleted by the code in Write
Import - Import data
List - Get modules of the given type
Modified - Were the modules changed?
Read - Read modules from files
ValidCharsHwcfg - #46803: forbid "/" (filename), maybe also "-" (separator) "_" (escape)
Write - Write modules to files And also do hwdown before and hwup after, on changed ones (#44794)

List of Global Variables

Alias - Alias means Driver here (think of modules.conf)
Current - Current module information
