20 * \brief C API: ICU Plugin API
21 *
22 * <h2>C API: ICU Plugin API</h2>
23 *
24 * <p>C API allowing run-time loadable modules that extend or modify ICU functionality.</p>
25 *
26 * <h3>Loading and Configuration</h3>
27 *
28 * <p>At ICU startup time, the environment variable "ICU_PLUGINS" will be
29 * queried for a directory name. If it is not set, the preprocessor symbol
30 * "DEFAULT_ICU_PLUGINS" will be checked for a default value.</p>
31 *
32 * <p>Within the above-named directory, the file "icuplugins##.txt" will be
33 * opened, if present, where ## is the major+minor number of the currently
34 * running ICU (such as, 44 for ICU 4.4, thus icuplugins44.txt)</p>
35 *
36 * <p>The configuration file has this format:</p>
37 *
38 * <ul>
39 * <li>Hash (#) begins a comment line</li>
40 *
41 * <li>Non-comment lines have two or three components:
42 * LIBRARYNAME ENTRYPOINT [ CONFIGURATION .. ]</li>
43 *
44 * <li>Tabs or spaces separate the three items.</li>
45 *
46 * <li>LIBRARYNAME is the name of a shared library, either a short name if
47 * it is on the loader path, or a full pathname.</li>
48 *
49 * <li>ENTRYPOINT is the short (undecorated) symbol name of the plugin's
50 * entrypoint, as above.</li>
51 *
52 * <li>CONFIGURATION is the entire rest of the line . It's passed as-is to
53 * the plugin.</li>
54 * </ul>
55 *
56 * <p>An example configuration file is, in its entirety:</p>
57 *
58 * \code
59 * # this is icuplugins44.txt
60 * testplug.dll myPlugin hello=world
61 * \endcode
62 * <p>Plugins are categorized as "high" or "low" level. Low level are those
63 * which must be run BEFORE high level plugins, and before any operations
64 * which cause ICU to be 'initialized'. If a plugin is low level but
65 * causes ICU to allocate memory or become initialized, that plugin is said
66 * to cause a 'level change'. </p>
67 *
68 * <p>At load time, ICU first queries all plugins to determine their level,
69 * then loads all 'low' plugins first, and then loads all 'high' plugins.
70 * Plugins are otherwise loaded in the order listed in the configuration file.</p>
71 *
72 * <h3>Implementing a Plugin</h3>
73 * \code
74 * U_CAPI UPlugTokenReturn U_EXPORT2
75 * myPlugin (UPlugData *plug, UPlugReason reason, UErrorCode *status) {
76 * if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_QUERY) {
77 * uplug_setPlugName(plug, "Simple Plugin");
78 * uplug_setPlugLevel(plug, UPLUG_LEVEL_HIGH);
79 * } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_LOAD) {
80 * ... Set up some ICU things here....
81 * } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_UNLOAD) {
82 * ... unload, clean up ...
83 * }
84 * return UPLUG_TOKEN;
85 * }
86 * \endcode
87 *
88 * <p>The UPlugData* is an opaque pointer to the plugin-specific data, and is
89 * used in all other API calls.</p>
90 *
91 * <p>The API contract is:</p>
92 * <ol><li>The plugin MUST always return UPLUG_TOKEN as a return value- to
93 * indicate that it is a valid plugin.</li>
94 *
95 * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is set to UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the
96 * plugin MUST call uplug_setPlugLevel() to indicate whether it is a high
97 * level or low level plugin.</li>
98 *
99 * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the plugin
100 * SHOULD call uplug_setPlugName to indicate a human readable plugin name.</li></ol>
