     18  * \brief C API: ICU Plugin API
     19  *
     20  * <h2>C API: ICU Plugin API</h2>
     21  *
     22  * <p>C API allowing run-time loadable modules that extend or modify ICU functionality.</p>
     23  *
     24  * <h3>Loading and Configuration</h3>
     25  *
     26  * <p>At ICU startup time, the environment variable "ICU_PLUGINS" will be
     27  * queried for a directory name.  If it is not set, the preprocessor symbol
     28  * "DEFAULT_ICU_PLUGINS" will be checked for a default value.</p>
     29  *
     30  * <p>Within the above-named directory, the file  "icuplugins##.txt" will be
     31  * opened, if present, where ## is the major+minor number of the currently
     32  * running ICU (such as, 44 for ICU 4.4, thus icuplugins44.txt)</p>
     33  *
     34  * <p>The configuration file has this format:</p>
     35  *
     36  * <ul>
     37  * <li>Hash (#) begins a comment line</li>
     38  *
     39  * <li>Non-comment lines have two or three components:
     40  * LIBRARYNAME     ENTRYPOINT     [ CONFIGURATION .. ]</li>
     41  *
     42  * <li>Tabs or spaces separate the three items.</li>
     43  *
     44  * <li>LIBRARYNAME is the name of a shared library, either a short name if
     45  * it is on the loader path,  or a full pathname.</li>
     46  *
     47  * <li>ENTRYPOINT is the short (undecorated) symbol name of the plugin's
     48  * entrypoint, as above.</li>
     49  *
     50  * <li>CONFIGURATION is the entire rest of the line . It's passed as-is to
     51  * the plugin.</li>
     52  * </ul>
     53  *
     54  * <p>An example configuration file is, in its entirety:</p>
     55  *
     56  * \code
     57  * # this is icuplugins44.txt
     58  * testplug.dll    myPlugin        hello=world
     59  * \endcode
     60  * <p>Plugins are categorized as "high" or "low" level.  Low level are those
     61  * which must be run BEFORE high level plugins, and before any operations
     62  * which cause ICU to be 'initialized'.  If a plugin is low level but
     63  * causes ICU to allocate memory or become initialized, that plugin is said
     64  * to cause a 'level change'. </p>
     65  *
     66  * <p>At load time, ICU first queries all plugins to determine their level,
     67  * then loads all 'low' plugins first, and then loads all 'high' plugins.
     68  * Plugins are otherwise loaded in the order listed in the configuration file.</p>
     69  *
     70  * <h3>Implementing a Plugin</h3>
     71  * \code
     72  * U_CAPI UPlugTokenReturn U_EXPORT2
     73  * myPlugin (UPlugData *plug, UPlugReason reason, UErrorCode *status) {
     74  *   if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_QUERY) {
     75  *      uplug_setPlugName(plug, "Simple Plugin");
     76  *      uplug_setPlugLevel(plug, UPLUG_LEVEL_HIGH);
     77  *    } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_LOAD) {
     78  *       ... Set up some ICU things here....
     79  *    } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_UNLOAD) {
     80  *       ... unload, clean up ...
     81  *    }
     82  *   return UPLUG_TOKEN;
     83  *  }
     84  * \endcode
     85  *
     86  * <p>The UPlugData*  is an opaque pointer to the plugin-specific data, and is
     87  * used in all other API calls.</p>
     88  *
     89  * <p>The API contract is:</p>
     90  * <ol><li>The plugin MUST always return UPLUG_TOKEN as a return value- to
     91  * indicate that it is a valid plugin.</li>
     92  *
     93  * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is set to UPLUG_REASON_QUERY,  the
     94  * plugin MUST call uplug_setPlugLevel() to indicate whether it is a high
     95  * level or low level plugin.</li>
     96  *
     97  * <li>When the 'reason' parameter is UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the plugin
     98  * SHOULD call uplug_setPlugName to indicate a human readable plugin name.</li></ol>
