Function Documentation

int PluginManagerAddDir (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  path, char  recursive )

Adds an entire directory of plugins. This attempts to load all files in the specified directory. Some may fail if they are not plugins which is not a problem. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure path  Filesystem path directory recursive  Set to 0 to not traverse down sub-directories Returns: 0 on success; non-zero on fail

size_t PluginManagerAddEvent (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  event, PluginCallback  cb, unsigned char  pri )

Adds a named event to the manager. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event name cb  Callback function to call when this event occurs pri  Priority of event Returns: The return value is the event ID number which can be used in future calls to PluginManagerDoEvent() or 0 if AddEvent fails.

int PluginManagerAddPlugin (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  path )

Adds a plugin DLL to the manager. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure path  Filesystem path to DLL that will be loaded Returns: 0 on success; non-zero on fail

int PluginManagerAddPluginObj (  PluginManager *  mgr, Plugin *  plugin )

Destroys a PluginManager context, freeing all memory and resources Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure

int PluginManagerAlloc (  PluginManager *  mgr  )

Initializes a new plugin manager Parameters: mgr  Pointer to empty PluginManager structure to be filled in Returns: 0 on success; non-zero on fail

int PluginManagerDoEvent (  PluginManager *  mgr, size_t  event, void *  param1, void *  param2 )

Causes an event to run. This will call all functions registered for the specified event. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event ID number param1  Parameter to pass to plugin param2  Extra parameter to pass to plugin Returns: 0 on success; non-zero on failure

int PluginManagerDoEventName (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  event, void *  param1, void *  param2 )

Causes an event to run. This will call all functions registered for the specified event. This is slower than the plain DoEvent becuase it does a lookup of the event name. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event name param1  Parameter to pass to plugin param2  Extra parameter to pass to plugin Returns: 0 on success; non-zero on failure

size_t PluginManagerFindEvent (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  event )

Finds a named event and returns the ID number. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event name Returns: The return value is the event ID number or 0 if find fails.

void PluginManagerFree (  PluginManager *  mgr  )

Destroys a PluginManager context, freeing all memory and resources. This also calls the finalize() function of all active plugins. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure

int PluginManagerRemoveEvent (  PluginManager *  mgr, size_t  event, PluginCallback  cb, unsigned char  pri )

Removes an event from the manager Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event ID num cb  Callback function pri  Priority of event Returns: 0 on sucess; non-zero on fail

int PluginManagerRemoveEventName (  PluginManager *  mgr, const char *  event, PluginCallback  cb, unsigned char  pri )

Removes a named event from the manager. Slower than RemoveEvent because this does a name lookup. Parameters: mgr  Pointer to PluginManager structure event  Event name cb  Callback function pri  Priority of event Returns: 0 on sucess; non-zero on fail
