char* bg_plugin_common_s::gettext_domain

First argument for bindtextdomain().

char* bg_plugin_common_s::gettext_directory

Second argument for bindtextdomain().

char* bg_plugin_common_s::name

Unique short name.

char* bg_plugin_common_s::long_name

Humanized name for GUI widgets.

bg_plugin_type_t bg_plugin_common_s::type

Type.

int bg_plugin_common_s::flags

Flags (see defines)

char* bg_plugin_common_s::description

Textual description.

int bg_plugin_common_s::priority

Priority (between 1 and 10).

void*(* bg_plugin_common_s::create)()

Create the instance, return handle.

Returns: A private handle, which is the first argument to all subsequent functions.

void(* bg_plugin_common_s::destroy)(void *priv)

Destroy plugin instance.

Parameters

priv	The handle returned by the create() method

Destroy everything, making it ready for dlclose() This function might also be called on opened plugins, so the plugins should call their close()-function from within the destroy method.

const bg_parameter_info_t*(* bg_plugin_common_s::get_parameters)(void *priv)

Get available parameters.

Parameters

priv	The handle returned by the create() method

Returns: a NULL terminated parameter array.

The returned array is owned (an should be freed) by the plugin.

bg_set_parameter_func_t bg_plugin_common_s::set_parameter

Set configuration parameter (optional)

bg_get_parameter_func_t bg_plugin_common_s::get_parameter

Get configuration parameter (optional)

This must only return parameters, which are changed internally by the plugins.

int(* bg_plugin_common_s::check_device)(const char *device, char **name)

Check, if a device can be opened by the plugin (optional)

Parameters

device	The device as passed to the open() method
name	Returns the name if available

Returns: 1 if the device is supported, 0 else

The name should be set to NULL before this call, and must be freed if it's non-NULL after the call.

bg_device_info_t*(* bg_plugin_common_s::find_devices)()

Get an array of all supported devices found on the system.

Returns: A NULL terminated device array

The returned array must be freed with bg_device_info_destroy by the caller.
