function module_implements

Determines which modules are implementing a hook.

Lazy-loaded include files specified with "group" via hook_hook_info() or hook_module_implements_alter() will be automatically included by this function when necessary.

Parameters

string $hook: The name of the hook (e.g. "help" or "menu").

bool $sort: By default, modules are ordered by weight and filename, settings this option to TRUE, module list will be ordered by module name.

bool $reset: For internal use only: Whether to force the stored list of hook implementations to be regenerated (such as after enabling a new module, before processing hook_enable).

Return value

An array with the names of the modules which are implementing this hook.
