TheModule column contains the name of a module. TheSize column indicates the size inbytes of a module (not memory used).[1] TheUsed by column indicates how many times the module is in use by running programs. To the right of that is a list of other modules which refer to this one, but this list is sometimes incomplete.[2] If the module controls its own unloading via a can_unload routine then the used-by count shows as -1, irrespective of the actual count.
