C-Pluff focuses on * providing core services for plug-in interaction and plug-in * management. It aims to be platform neutral and supports dynamic changes to * plug-in configuration without stopping the whole application or framework. * It does not yet provide special facilities for distribution such as * signed plug-in packages or remote plug-in repositories but it is * possible to build such features on top of the current framework. * * Here are links to main topics. * * - @ref architecture "Plug-in architecture" * - @ref cMainProgram "Main program" * - @ref plugin "Plug-in" * * - API elements * - Header files * * For a "quick start guide" in developing C-Pluff based applications, * see the example in the examples directory of the source distribution. * * The latest version of the framework implementation * and documentation is available at * C-Pluff web site. * * This documentation has been generated from the C-Pluff source code * using Doxygen. */
