+
+* `specifier` {string} Customization hooks to be registered; this should be the
+  same string that would be passed to `import()`, except that if it is relative,
+  it is resolved relative to `parentURL`.
+* `parentURL` {string} If you want to resolve `specifier` relative to a base
+  URL, such as `import.meta.url`, you can pass that URL here. **Default:**
+  `'data:'`
+* `options` {Object}
+  * `data` {any} Any arbitrary, cloneable JavaScript value to pass into the
+    [`initialize`][] hook.
+  * `transferList` {Object\[]} [transferrable objects][] to be passed into the
+    `initialize` hook.
+* Returns: {any} returns whatever was returned by the `initialize` hook.
+
+Register a module that exports hooks that customize Node.js module resolution
+and loading behavior.
