+ * SECTION:gtypemodule
+ * @short_description: Type loading modules
+ * @see_also: #GTypePlugin, #GModule
+ * @title: GTypeModule
+ *
+ * #GTypeModule provides a simple implementation of the #GTypePlugin
+ * interface. The model of #GTypeModule is a dynamically loaded module
+ * which implements some number of types and interface implementations.
+ * When the module is loaded, it registers its types and interfaces
+ * using g_type_module_register_type() and g_type_module_add_interface().
+ * As long as any instances of these types and interface implementations
+ * are in use, the module is kept loaded. When the types and interfaces
+ * are gone, the module may be unloaded. If the types and interfaces
+ * become used again, the module will be reloaded. Note that the last
+ * unref cannot happen in module code, since that would lead to the
+ * caller's code being unloaded before g_object_unref() returns to it.
+ *
+ * Keeping track of whether the module should be loaded or not is done by
+ * using a use count - it starts at zero, and whenever it is greater than
+ * zero, the module is loaded. The use count is maintained internally by
+ * the type system, but also can be explicitly controlled by
+ * g_type_module_use() and g_type_module_unuse(). Typically, when loading
+ * a module for the first type, g_type_module_use() will be used to load
+ * it so that it can initialize its types. At some later point, when the
+ * module no longer needs to be loaded except for the type
+ * implementations it contains, g_type_module_unuse() is called.
+ *
+ * #GTypeModule does not actually provide any implementation of module
+ * loading and unloading. To create a particular module type you must
+ * derive from #GTypeModule and implement the load and unload functions
+ * in #GTypeModuleClass.
