19 * Library provides an API to access persistent data
22 * 25/06/13 Ingo Hürner 1.0.0 - Rework of Init functions
23 * 04/11/13 Ingo Hürner 1.3.0 - Added define for shutdown type none

35 * @mainpage The Persistence Client Library documentation
36 * GENIVI's Persistence Client Library, known as PCL, is responsible for handling persistent data,
37 * including all data read and modified during a lifetime of an infotainment system.<br>
38 * "Persistent data" is data stored in a non-volatile storage such as a hard disk drive or FLASH memory.
40 * The Persistence Client Library (PCL) provides an API to applications to read and write persistent data
41 * via a key-value and a file interface.<br>
42 * It also provide a plugin API to allow users to extend the client library with custom storage solutions.
44 * @section doc Further documentation
45 * @subsection docUser User Manual
46 * There is a a user manual for the client library available,
47 * see: http://docs.projects.genivi.org/persistence-client-library/1.0/GENIVI_Persistence_Client_Library_UserManual.pdf
49 * @subsection docArch Architecture Manual
50 * For more information about the persistence architecture,
51 * see: http://docs.projects.genivi.org/persistence-client-library/1.0/GENIVI_Persistence_ArchitectureDocumentation.pdf
54 * @section plugin Custom plugin configuration file
56 * The plugin configuration file has been changed!
58 * The configuration file has now the following format<br>
59 * <predefinedPluginName> <pathAndLibraryName> <loadingType> <initType>
61 * <b>Predefined plugin name</b><br>
62 * Use one of the following names:
63 * - early => predefined custom library for early persistence
64 * - secure => predefined custom library for secure persistence
65 * - emergency => predefined custom library for emengency persistence
66 * - hwinfo => predefined custom library for hw information
67 * - custom1 => custom library 1
68 * - custom2 => custom library 2
69 * - custom3 => custom library 3
71 * <b>Path and library name:</b><br>
72 * The name and path of the library
74 * <b>Valid loading type:</b>
75 * - "init" ==> if the plugin must be laoding during the pclInitLibrary function
76 * - "on" ==> if on demand laoding of the plugin is requested. The plugin will be loaded
77 * when a plugin function will be loaded the first time
80 * - sync ==> use the "plugin_init" function for plugin initialization
81 * - async ==> use the "plugin_init_async" function for plugin initialization
84 * hwinfo /usr/local/lib/libhwinfoperscustom.so init async
87 * Make sure that there is only ONE blank between each entry and no blank at the end of the file.
88 * The parser has been optimized for speed, so there is less error checking.
