so basically, globus_module_descriptor_s is a Module Descriptor, and it's a public data structure that holds a bunch of function pointers used to activate and deactivate a module. like, it's the little card your module hands over so the system knows how to turn it on and off. no cap, that's the whole vibe 🫢

okay and for the cute sign-off: this whole thing comes from globus_common, Version 18.15, and the page id is globus_mod...scriptor_s(3) (yes the middle got eaten, it's giving mystery, it's giving intrigue πŸ•΅οΈβ™€οΈ). anyway bestie, go activate your modules responsibly, mwah πŸ’–βœ¨
