24 <para>Sends an arbitrary string (no quotes required) to all modules,
25 whose alias or name matching
26 <replaceable>modulename</replaceable>,
27 which may contain wildcards.  This only makes sense if the module
28 is set up to understand and deal with these strings though. Can be
29 used for module to module communication, or implementation of more
30 complex commands in modules.</para>
