__NOTOC__

This page lists most of the modules present in the official VLC source code. Understanding these pages might require that you know about VLC and its command line usage. It is recommended that you read the other [[Documentation:Documentation|documentation]] first.

To list all the available modules in your VLC build, use:
 {{%}} '''vlc --list'''

To list a module's configuration options, use:
 % '''vlc -p <modulename> --advanced --help-verbose'''
