 * A main program called.
 * Various modules ( files) that carry out different tasks.
 * Several libraries which help to ensure consistent behavior and simplify the creation of new modules.

Each module provides several actions. Actions typically either display some information ( and actions are common) or update the system somehow (for example,  and ). Each module also provides and  actions that explain how to use the module.
