| 6 | /* lttv modules are shared object files, to be loaded dynamically, which |
| 7 | interact with the main module to provide additional capabilities. They |
| 8 | typically register hooks to be called at various places, read and add |
| 9 | attributes... |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Each lttv module must define a function named "init" with |
| 12 | the following signature. The init function may itself require other |
| 13 | modules using lttv_module_require. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | It should also define a function named "destroy" to free the |
| 16 | resources reserved during execution. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Most modules will not use the command line arguments passed as init |
| 19 | arguments. It is easier to simply register command line options |
| 20 | to be parsed by the main module. However, some modules |
| 21 | may require an "early access" to these arguments, for example an embedded |
| 22 | python interpreter module which needs to know the modules written in |
| 23 | python to load. */ |
