TRUE

help
function to
get documentation on particular objects in the section.
TRUE
, the module named by the
section
argument is unloaded. This
operation ends up performing the equivalent of
detach

using
detach
directly, as their behaviors may be slightly different.

attached the data directory for the requested module.
If you called
module

help
on a module,
module

if the section is already attached it will return the
position at which it is attached.
module

If you give the
help
argument, then
module
prints information on
the contents of the section specified by
help
.
Otherwise,
module
attaches or detaches the data directory
for the specified module.
If
module
is called with no arguments, it prints short descriptions for
all of the installed add-on modules.
