Does jshell work with jmod files?

Question

I followed some example and I created a simple jmod. I put jmod in my jmod folder not in java jmods folder. Now, I read that jshell can export modules, but I did understand. Can jshell work with jmods? Some example? In java jmods folder there are many jmod files, but I don't know how to use it in jshell session.

A jmod file contains all (binary) artifacts of a java module - java .class files, native libraries (.so/.dll), executables, config files etc. jmod files are not meant to be used at runtime with launcher tools such as java, jshell, jjs. jmod files are used with jlink tool to create a runtime image.
