13 * configuration file counterparts.
15 * @section plugins_sec Writing Settingsd Plugins
17 * All settingsd plugins must implement two functions with C linkage:
20 * extern "C" ivi::settings::plugin * make_settings();
21 * extern "C" void destroy_settings(ivi::settings::plugin *);
24 * Both functions must be exported from the plugin if compile- or
25 * link-time symbol hiding is enabled. There is no need to export
26 * the plugin subclass itself since it will only be invoked through
27 * the @c ivi::settings::plugin base class.
29 * @subsection make_settings make_settings()
31 * The @c make_settings() function is a factory function that returns a
32 * pointer to an object that implements the @c ivi::settings::plugin
33 * interface (i.e. subclasses @c ivi::settings::plugin). The settingsd
34 * plugin framework does not require @c ivi::settings::plugin
35 * instances to be allocated in a particular way, but one would
36 * typically create an instance using @c operator @c new().
38 * @see the @c ivi::settings::plugin abstract base class for further
39 * documentation, including the required @c @#include directive.
41 * @subsection destroy_settings destroy_settings()
43 * The @c destroy_provider() function will be called by the settingsd
44 * plugin framework when it no longer needs the provider in
45 * question. The settingsd plugin framework does not require
46 * @c ivi::settings::plugin instances to be deallocated in a
47 * particular way, but one would typically destroy instances using
48 * @c operator @c delete(), assuming it was created using @c operator
49 * @c new() in the plugin's @c make_settings() function.
51 * @subsection linking Link-time Dependencies
53 * Settingsd plugins must link against the settingsd library, @e e.g.
54 * @c libsettings on Unix-like platforms.
