Module summary
Erlang code server.
Description
This module contains the interface to the Erlang code server, which deals with the loading of compiled code into a running Erlang runtime system.
The runtime system can be started in embedded or interactive mode. Which one is decided by command-line flag -mode
:
% erl -mode interactive
The modes are as follows:
-
In embedded mode, all code is loaded during system startup according to the boot script. (Code can also be loaded later by explicitly ordering the code server to do so).
-
In interactive mode, which is default, only some code is loaded during system startup, basically the modules needed by the runtime system. Other code is dynamically loaded when first reference
