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>
