+/** @pg pg_kLdr         kLdr - The Dynamic Loader
+ *
+ * The purpose of kLdr is to provide a generic interface for querying
+ * information about and loading executable image modules.
+ *
+ * kLdr defines the term executable image to include all kinds of files that contains
+ * binary code that can be executed on a CPU - linker objects (OBJs/Os), shared
+ * objects (SOs), dynamic link libraries (DLLs), executables (EXEs), and all kinds
+ * of kernel modules / device drivers (SYSs).
+ *
+ * kLdr provides two types of services:
+ *      -# Inspect or/and load individual modules (kLdrMod).
+ *      -# Work as a dynamic loader - construct and maintain an address space (kLdrDy).
+ *
+ * The kLdrMod API works on KLDRMOD structures where all the internals are exposed, while
+ * the kLdrDy API works opque KLDRDY structures. KLDRDY are in reality simple wrappers
+ * around KLDRMOD with some extra linking and attributes.
+ *
