 In the simplest case, tt(zmodload) loads a binary module.  The module must
 be in a file with a name consisting of the specified var(name) followed by
-a standard suffix, usually `tt(.so)'.

 already loaded and the tt(-i) option is given, the duplicate module is
 ignored.  Otherwise tt(zmodload) prints an error message.
 
 The var(name)d module is searched for in the same way a command is, using
-tt($module_path) instead of tt($path).  However, the path search is

 With tt(-u), tt(zmodload) unloads modules.  The same var(name)
 must be given that was given when the module was loaded, but it is not
