MP_RegisterPluginCommonIMultipath Management Library MP_RegisterPlugin(3MPAPI)NAMEMP_RegisterPlugin - register a plugin with the common library
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ]
#include <mpapi.h>
MP_STATUS MP_RegisterPlugin(MP_WCHAR *pPluginId, MP_CHAR *pFileName);
PARAMETERS
pPluginId A pointer to the key name shall be the reversed domain
name of the vendor followed by a ".", followed by the
vendor-specific name for the plugin that uniquely iden‐
tifies it.
pFileName The full path name of the plugin library.
DESCRIPTION
The MP_RegisterPlugin() function registers a plugin with the common
library. The current implementation adds an entry to the
/etc/mpapi.conf file.
Unlike some other APIs, this API is implemented entirely in the common
library. It must be called before a plugin is invoked by the common
library.
This API does not impact dynamically add or change plugins bound to a
running library instance. Instead, it causes an application that is
currently not using a plugin to access the specified plugin on future
calls to the common library. This is generally the behavior expected
from dynamically loaded modules.
This API is typically called by a plugin's installation software to
inform the common library of the path for the plugin library.
It is not an error to re-register a plugin. However, a plugin has only
one registration. The first call to deregister a plugin will deregister
it no matter how many calls to register the plugin have been made.
A vendor may register multiple plugins by using separate plugin IDs and
filenames.
RETURN VALUES
MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
The pFileName does not exist.
MP_STATUS_SUCCESS
The operation is successful.
