A NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) is a
binary code module that can be loaded into
Novell's NetWare operating system for execution.NLMs were supported beginning with the
Intel 80386-based NetWare version 3.x. Prior versions of NetWare had a monolithic
kernel, and significant hardware or functionality changes required re-linking the kernel from object modules.Due to stability issues with early third-party NLMs, they never became popular for server application programming, with few exceptions like
antivirus programs,
backup programs and certain
database products.
