This page lists the content of the Modules directory in the source tree of VLC, aimed at giving new beginners an overview of the code.

 Why Does This Page Exist?
 Well, simply because VLC has evolved with not so much accumulation in mind, 
 and when a new coder looks at the code, s/he is   terrified by the abundance of directories. 
 Please remove this paragraph when done.

The directories are listed in alphabetical order, with an overview of their contents on the right. Any first level subdirectories are shown as well.
