 3.2 Modules
 ===========
 
 Libgcrypt supports the use of `extension modules', which implement
 algorithms in addition to those already built into the library directly.
 
  -- Data type: gcry_module_t
      This data type represents a `module'.
 
    Functions registering modules provided by the user take a `module
 specification structure' as input and return a value of `gcry_module_t'
 and an ID that is unique in the modules' category.  This ID can be used
 to reference the newly registered module.  After registering a module
 successfully, the new functionality should be able to be used through
 the normal functions provided by Libgcrypt until it is unregistered
 again.
