function module_implements

7.x module.inc module_implements($hook, $sort = FALSE, $reset = FALSE)
6.x module.inc module_implements($hook, $sort = FALSE, $refresh = FALSE)

Determines which modules are implementing a hook.

Parameters

$hook: The name of the hook (e.g. "help" or "menu").

$sort: By default, modules are ordered by weight and filename, settings this option to TRUE, module list will be ordered by module name.

$reset: For internal use only: Whether to force the stored list of hook implementations to be regenerated (such as after enabling a new module, before processing hook_enable).

Return value

An array with the names of the modules which are implementing this hook.
