Methods
Module load management
@param aCompMgr : The global component manager
@return indicates to the caller if the module can be unloaded.
Returning PR_TRUE isn't a guarantee that the module will be
unloaded. It constitues only willingness of the module to be
unloaded. It is very important to ensure that no outstanding
references to the module's code/data exist before returning
PR_TRUE.
Returning PR_FALSE guaratees that the module wont be unloaded.

canUnload(in nsIComponentManager aCompMgr)
Object Instance Creation Obtains a Class Object from a nsIModule for a given CID and IID pair. This class object can either be query to a nsIFactory or a may be query to a nsIClassInfo. @param aCompMgr : The global component manager @param aClass : ClassID of object instance requested @param aIID : IID of interface requested
void
getClassObject(in nsIComponentManager aCompMgr, in nsCIDRef aClass, in nsIIDRef aIID, [iid_is(aIID), retval] out nsQIResult aResult)
One time registration callback When the nsIModule is discovered, this method will be called so that any setup registration can be preformed. @param aCompMgr : The global component manager @param aLocation : The location of the nsIModule on disk @param aLoaderStr: Opaque loader specific string @param aType : Loader Type being used to load this module
void
registerSelf(in nsIComponentManager aCompMgr, in nsIFile aLocation, in string aLoaderStr, in string aType)
One time unregistration callback When the nsIModule is being unregistered, this method will be called so that any unregistration can be preformed @param aCompMgr : The global component manager @param aLocation : The location of the nsIModule on disk @param aLoaderStr : Opaque loader specific string
void
unregisterSelf(in nsIComponentManager aCompMgr, in nsIFile aLocation, in string aLoaderStr)
