This module should not be invoked directly; use its corresponding template instead: Template:Module introspection.
Module:Module introspection is ready for use. This message indicates that a module is ready for use, or has recently been repaired. This message may be removed once this module has been used on several pages or once it is verified to work as intended.

Details: Edge-case observation still ongoing. Currently cannot detect data provided by a module.

Introspection summary: Module:Module introspection requires 1 module(s) and provides 8 functions(s).

-- TODO: add additional functions:
-- - Determine whether a main function exists, as _main or a function of the
--   same name as the module with an underscore.
-- - Determine whether a wrapper exists, as main or a function of the same name
--   as the module, without an underscore.
-- - If the wrapper exists without _main, the wrapper is assumed to be the main
--   function.
-- - If both wrapper and _main exists, _main is the main function.
-- - If neither function exists, then the module is a metamodule, a module that
--   generally provides functionality to other modules.

-- Inspects a module for its functions, its dependencies, and the functions used
-- from those dependencies.
