<CODE>CONF_modules_free()</CODE> closes down and frees up all memory
allocated by all configuration modules.

</P>
<P>
<CODE>CONF_modules_finish()</CODE> calls each configuration modules <STRONG>finish</STRONG> handler to free up any configuration that module may have performed.

</P>
<P>
<CODE>CONF_modules_unload()</CODE> finishes and unloads configuration
modules. If
<STRONG>all</STRONG> is set to <STRONG>0</STRONG> only modules loaded from DSOs will be unloads. If
<STRONG>all</STRONG> is <STRONG>1</STRONG> all modules, including builtin modules will be unloaded.
