a character string that represents the image format we are looking for.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## GetModuleInfoList

GetModuleInfoList() returns any modules that match the specified pattern.

The format of the GetModuleInfoList function is:

      const ModuleInfo **GetModuleInfoList(const char *pattern,
        size_t *number_modules,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### pattern

Specifies a pointer to a text string containing a pattern.

##### number_modules

This integer returns the number of modules in the list.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## GetModuleList

GetModuleList() returns any image format modules that match the specified pattern.

The format of the GetModuleList function is:

      char **GetModuleList(const char *pattern,const MagickModuleType type,
        size_t *number_modules,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### pattern

Specifies a pointer to a text string containing a pattern.

##### type

choose from MagickImageCoderModule or MagickImageFilterModule.

##### number_modules

This integer returns the number of modules in the list.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## GetMagickModulePath

GetMagickModulePath() finds a module with the specified module type and filename.

The format of the GetMagickModulePath module is:

      MagickBooleanType GetMagickModulePath(const char *filename,
        MagickModuleType module_type,char *path,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### filename

the module file name.

##### module_type

the module type: MagickImageCoderModule or MagickImageFilterModule.

##### path

the path associated with the filename.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## InitializeModuleList

InitializeModuleList() initializes the module loader.

The format of the InitializeModuleList() method is:

      InitializeModuleList(Exceptioninfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## InvokeDynamicImageFilter

InvokeDynamicImageFilter() invokes a dynamic image filter.

The format of the InvokeDynamicImageFilter module is:

      MagickBooleanType InvokeDynamicImageFilter(const char *tag,Image **image,
        const int argc,const char **argv,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### tag

a character string that represents the name of the particular module.

##### image

the image.

##### argc

a pointer to an integer describing the number of elements in the argument vector.

##### argv

a pointer to a text array containing the command line arguments.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## ListModuleInfo

ListModuleInfo() lists the module info to a file.

The format of the ListModuleInfo module is:

      MagickBooleanType ListModuleInfo(FILE *file,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows.

##### file

An pointer to a FILE.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## OpenModule

OpenModule() loads a module, and invokes its registration module. It returns MagickTrue on success, and MagickFalse if there is an error.

The format of the OpenModule module is:

      MagickBooleanType OpenModule(const char *module,ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### module

a character string that indicates the module to load.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## OpenModules

        ExceptionInfo *exception)

A description of each parameter follows:

##### info

a pointer to the registered entry is returned.

##### module_info

a pointer to the ModuleInfo structure to register.

##### exception

return any errors or warnings in this structure.

## TagToCoderModuleName
