   9 Find the `module` object in `require.cache` for something that was `require()`d
  10 or `import`ed - essentially a reverse `require()` lookup.
  11
  12 Useful for libs that want to e.g. lookup a filename for a module or submodule
  13 that it did not `require()` itself.
  14
  15 ## Install and Usage
  16
  17 ```
  18 npm install --save which-module
  19 ```
  20
  21 ```js
  22 const whichModule = require('which-module')
  23
  24 console.log(whichModule(require('something')))
  25 // Module {
  26 //   id: '/path/to/project/node_modules/something/index.js',
  27 //   exports: [Function],
  28 //   parent: ...,
  29 //   filename: '/path/to/project/node_modules/something/index.js',
  30 //   loaded: true,
  31 //   children: [],
  32 //   paths: [ '/path/to/project/node_modules/something/node_modules',
  33 //            '/path/to/project/node_modules',
  34 //            '/path/to/node_modules',
  35 //            '/path/node_modules',
  36 //            '/node_modules' ] }

  39 ## API
  40
  41 ### `whichModule(exported)`
  42
  43 Return the [`module` object](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_the_module_object),
  44 if any, that represents the given argument in the `require.cache`.
  45
  46 `exported` can be anything that was previously `require()`d or `import`ed as a
  47 module, submodule, or dependency - which means `exported` is identical to the
  48 `module.exports` returned by this method.
  49
  50 If `exported` did not come from the `exports` of a `module` in `require.cache`,
  51 then this method returns `null`.
