 ## The `Module` object
 
-<!-- YAML
-added: v0.3.7
--->
-
-* {Object}
-
-Provides general utility methods when interacting with instances of
-`Module`, the `module` variable often seen in file modules. Accessed
-via `require('module')`.
-
-### `module.builtinModules`
-<!-- YAML
-added:
-  - v9.3.0
-  - v8.10.0
-  - v6.13.0
--->
-
-* {string[]}
-
-A list of the names of all modules provided by Node.js. Can be used to verify
-if a module is maintained by a third party or not.
-
-`module` in this context isn't the same object that's provided
-by the [module wrapper][]. To access it, require the `Module` module:
-
-```js
-const builtin = require('module').builtinModules;
-```
-
-### `module.createRequire(filename)`
-<!-- YAML
-added: v12.2.0
--->
-
-* `filename` {string|URL} Filename to be used to construct the require
-  function. Must be a file URL object, file URL string, or absolute path
-  string.
-* Returns: {require} Require function
-
-```js
-import { createRequire } from 'module';
-const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
-
-// sibling-module.js is a CommonJS module.
-const siblingModule = require('./sibling-module');
-```
-
-### `module.createRequireFromPath(filename)`
-<!-- YAML
-added: v10.12.0
-deprecated: v12.2.0
--->
-
-> Stability: 0 - Deprecated: Please use [`createRequire()`][] instead.
-
-* `filename` {string} Filename to be used to construct the relative require
-  function.
-* Returns: {require} Require function
-
-```js
-const { createRequireFromPath } = require('module');
-const requireUtil = createRequireFromPath('../src/utils/');
-
-// Require `../src/utils/some-tool`
-requireUtil('./some-tool');
-```
-
-### `module.syncBuiltinESMExports()`
-<!-- YAML
-added: v12.12.0
--->
-
-The `module.syncBuiltinESMExports()` method updates all the live bindings for
-builtin ES Modules to match the properties of the CommonJS exports. It does
-not add or remove exported names from the ES Modules.

 ## Source map v3 support
-<!-- YAML
-added:
- - v13.7.0
- - v12.17.0
--->
-
-> Stability: 1 - Experimental
-
-Helpers for interacting with the source map cache. This cache is
-populated when source map parsing is enabled and
-[source map include directives][] are found in a modules' footer.
-
-To enable source map parsing, Node.js must be run with the flag
-[`--enable-source-maps`][], or with code coverage enabled by setting
-[`NODE_V8_COVERAGE=dir`][].
-
-```js
-const { findSourceMap, SourceMap } = require('module');
-```
-
-### `module.findSourceMap(path[, error])`
-<!-- YAML
-added:
- - v13.7.0
- - v12.17.0
--->
-
-* `path` {string}
-* `error` {Error}
-* Returns: {module.SourceMap}
-
-`path` is the resolved path for the file for which a corresponding source map
-should be fetched.
-
-The `error` instance should be passed as the second parameter to `findSourceMap`
-in exceptional flows, e.g., when an overridden
-[`Error.prepareStackTrace(error, trace)`][] is invoked. Modules are not added to
-the module cache until they are successfully loaded, in these cases source maps
-will be associated with the `error` instance along with the `path`.
-
-### Class: `module.SourceMap`
-<!-- YAML
-added:
- - v13.7.0
- - v12.17.0
--->
-
-#### `new SourceMap(payload)`
-
-* `payload` {Object}
-
-Creates a new `sourceMap` instance.
-
-`payload` is an object with keys matching the [Source map v3 format][]:
-
-* `file`: {string}
-* `version`: {number}
-* `sources`: {string[]}
-* `sourcesContent`: {string[]}
-* `names`: {string[]}
-* `mappings`: {string}
-* `sourceRoot`: {string}
-
-#### `sourceMap.payload`
-
-* Returns: {Object}
-
-Getter for the payload used to construct the [`SourceMap`][] instance.
-
-#### `sourceMap.findEntry(lineNumber, columnNumber)`
-
-* `lineNumber` {number}
-* `columnNumber` {number}
-* Returns: {Object}
 
-Given a line number and column number in the generated source file, returns
-an object representing the position in the original file. The object returned
-consists of the following keys:
