+# DPM Module Development
+
+Modules for the Dark Horse Package Manager (DPM) can be developed independently of the core system. The `info` module in this repository provides a reference implementation.
+
+## Required Dependencies
+
+Modules must include the DPMDK headers:
+
+```cpp
+#include <dpmdk/include/CommonModuleAPI.hpp>
+```
+
+## Required Functions
+
+Every module must implement these three functions:
+
+```cpp
+extern "C" const char* dpm_module_get_version(void);
+extern "C" const char* dpm_get_description(void);
+extern "C" int dpm_module_execute(const char* command, int argc, char** argv);
+```
+
+See `modules/info/info.cpp` for a working implementation.
+
+## Building
+
+See the standalone CMakeLists.txt in the `modules/info` directory as a reference for building independent modules.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Standard configuration location: `/etc/dpm/conf.d/`
