# Modules & Commands Reference
The following pages document the PX4 modules, drivers and commands. They
describe the provided functionality, high-level implementation overview and how
to use the command-line interface.
> **Note** **This is auto-generated from the source code** and contains the
> most recent modules documentation.
It is not a complete list and NuttX provides some additional commands
as well (such as `free`). Use `help` on the console to get a list of all
available commands, and in most cases `command help` will print the usage.
Since this is generated from source, errors must be reported/fixed
in the [Firmware](https://github.com/PX4/Firmware) repository.
The documentation pages can be generated by running the following command from
the root of the Firmware directory:
```
make module_documentation
```
The generated files will be written to the `modules` directory.
