*
*
C API: ICU Plugin API
*
* C API allowing run-time loadable modules that extend or modify ICU functionality.
*
* Loading and Configuration
*
* At ICU startup time, the environment variable "ICU_PLUGINS" will be
* queried for a directory name. If it is not set, the preprocessor symbol
* "DEFAULT_ICU_PLUGINS" will be checked for a default value.
*
* Within the above-named directory, the file "icuplugins##.txt" will be
* opened, if present, where ## is the major+minor number of the currently
* running ICU (such as, 44 for ICU 4.4, thus icuplugins44.txt)
*
* The configuration file has this format:
*
*
* - Hash (#) begins a comment line
*
* - Non-comment lines have two or three components:
* LIBRARYNAME ENTRYPOINT [ CONFIGURATION .. ]
*
* - Tabs or spaces separate the three items.
*
* - LIBRARYNAME is the name of a shared library, either a short name if
* it is on the loader path, or a full pathname.
*
* - ENTRYPOINT is the short (undecorated) symbol name of the plugin's
* entrypoint, as above.
*
* - CONFIGURATION is the entire rest of the line . It's passed as-is to
* the plugin.
*
*
* An example configuration file is, in its entirety:
*
* \code
* # this is icuplugins44.txt
* testplug.dll myPlugin hello=world
* \endcode
* Plugins are categorized as "high" or "low" level. Low level are those
* which must be run BEFORE high level plugins, and before any operations
* which cause ICU to be 'initialized'. If a plugin is low level but
* causes ICU to allocate memory or become initialized, that plugin is said
* to cause a 'level change'.
*
* At load time, ICU first queries all plugins to determine their level,
* then loads all 'low' plugins first, and then loads all 'high' plugins.
* Plugins are otherwise loaded in the order listed in the configuration file.
*
* Implementing a Plugin
* \code
* U_CAPI UPlugTokenReturn U_EXPORT2
* myPlugin (UPlugData *plug, UPlugReason reason, UErrorCode *status) {
* if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_QUERY) {
* uplug_setPlugName(plug, "Simple Plugin");
* uplug_setPlugLevel(plug, UPLUG_LEVEL_HIGH);
* } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_LOAD) {
* ... Set up some ICU things here....
* } else if(reason==UPLUG_REASON_UNLOAD) {
* ... unload, clean up ...
* }
* return UPLUG_TOKEN;
* }
* \endcode
*
* The UPlugData* is an opaque pointer to the plugin-specific data, and is
* used in all other API calls.
*
* The API contract is:
* - The plugin MUST always return UPLUG_TOKEN as a return value- to
* indicate that it is a valid plugin.
*
* - When the 'reason' parameter is set to UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the
* plugin MUST call uplug_setPlugLevel() to indicate whether it is a high
* level or low level plugin.
*
* - When the 'reason' parameter is UPLUG_REASON_QUERY, the plugin
* SHOULD call uplug_setPlugName to indicate a human readable plugin name.
