Detailed Description

This system provides the framework for retrieving plug-ins from custom built libraries.

To implement a plug-in:

Decide on the API to use, and include the appropriate header
Implement the getPlugins() function (of type FnGetPluginsFunc)
Make your getPlugins() return a FnPlugin structure with appropriate API identifiers from the headers
Implement the functions required by the API, and return them in the appropriate structure in your plug-in's getSuite() function
Build
Copy (or symbolic-link) the library into the application's custom plug-ins folder
Start the application, and check that your plug-in has loaded correctly

Typedef Documentation

Returns a list of plug-ins provided by a plug-in library.

 FnPlugin *getPlugins(unsigned int *numPlugins);

This is the only externally-visible function that must be implemented by every plug-in library.

Parameters:

numPlugins Write the number of plug-ins provided by the library here. The pointer will not be NULL.

Returns:: A pointer to an array of plug-in structures, or NULL if none are supported
