Hi In run-time, if the old yang module are not satisfied or takes some defects, May I use one new yang file to replace it in run time for hot-patch case ?
In my application, I use lys_parse_path to parse yang file:
const struct lys_module *lys_parse_path(struct ly_ctx *ctx, const char *path, LYS_INFORMAT format);
I expected
step1: remove or disable old module object
step2: get new module object with new file
Thanks.

There are two situations cause this: 1 the data is wrong(e.g. somebody send error data) 2 the demand of the module changed
It's hard to distinguish. So if you want to hot-patch automatically by this, it will be hard.
But if you just want to hot-patch manually, I think you can do the logics in your application: 1 Detect the whether the files is changed in the path. 2 If yes, call lys_parse_path again to reload the module.
Hi, there is a function for removing a module so just use it and you should be fine. Note, however, that there cannot be any data existing for the module when you remove it.
You cannot call lys_parse_path() again to reload an existing module.

"2 If yes, call lys_parse_path again to reload the module." means that the lys_parse_path can be called multiple times ?
In last version, ly_ctx_remove_module is not exposed.
Sorry for that. Allow me to rephrase it:
If you just want to hot-patch manually, You can do the logics in your application: 1 Detect the whether the files is changed in the path. 2 If yes, reload your module correctly.(For example: stop your data handling, remove your old module, load your new module, start your data handling)
, what do you mean by "last version"? I see it in API - https://github.com/CESNET/libyang/blob/master/src/libyang.h.in#L1621
Yes, you are right.
