I found strange System.AttributeTargets value - AttributeTargets.Module. I searched it's usages and found this C# code:

[module: ContractNamespace("http://tempuri.org")]

It is an attribute on a something called "module".

What does this module mean in C#? Why can't I find it in the keyword list? Isn't it a keyword? When is it used?

See Attribute Targets in [Attributes](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z0w1kczw.aspx). – Damien_The_Unbeliever Dec 30 '15 at 09:31
@Damien_The_Unbeliever I think my question is more about C# language, and proposed duplicate is about .net-wide concept – astef Dec 30 '15 at 09:38

That's because it's a .NET concept. C# doesn't really have much to "add" on top of it. – Damien_The_Unbeliever Dec 30 '15 at 09:40
