• FreeSWITCH processes pre_load_modules.conf.xml first (typically database drivers such as mod_pgsql), then modules.conf.xml, then post_load_modules.conf.xml. in context
• Which FreeSWITCH modules get compiled is decided at build time by build/modules.conf.in, where uncommented lines cause a module to be built as a shared library. in context
• At startup FreeSWITCH loads the installed modules listed as load elements in autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml. in context
• From fs_cli, load, unload and reload (unload then load) act on a module without restarting FreeSWITCH, and show modules lists the loaded modules. in context
