42 Dynamic manifest generator handle.
44 This handle indicates a particular status of a dynamic manifest generator.
45 The host MUST NOT attempt to interpret it and, unlikely LV2_Handle, it is
46 NOT even valid to compare this to NULL. The dynamic manifest generator MAY
47 use it to reference internal data.
49 typedef void * LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle
;
52 Generate the dynamic manifest.
54 @param handle Pointer to an uninitialized dynamic manifest generator handle.
56 @param features NULL terminated array of LV2_Feature structs which represent
57 the features the host supports. The dynamic manifest generator may refuse to
58 (re)generate the dynamic manifest if required features are not found here
59 (however hosts SHOULD NOT use this as a discovery mechanism, instead of
60 reading the static manifest file). This array must always exist; if a host
61 has no features, it MUST pass a single element array containing NULL.
63 @return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code. The host SHOULD
64 evaluate the result of the operation by examining the returned value and
65 MUST NOT try to interpret the value of handle.
67 int lv2_dyn_manifest_open(LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle
* handle
,
68 const LV2_Feature
*const * features
);
71 Fetch a "list" of subject URIs described in the dynamic manifest.
73 The dynamic manifest generator has to fill the resource only with the needed
74 triples to make the host aware of the "objects" it wants to expose. For
75 example, if the plugin library exposes a regular LV2 plugin, it should
76 output only a triple like the following:
78 <http://www.example.com/plugin/uri> a lv2:Plugin .
80 The objects that are elegible for exposure are those that would need to be
81 represented by a subject node in a static manifest.
83 @param handle Dynamic manifest generator handle.
85 @param fp FILE * identifying the resource the host has to set up for the
86 dynamic manifest generator. The host MUST pass a writable, empty resource to
87 this function, and the dynamic manifest generator MUST ONLY perform write
88 operations on it at the end of the stream (e.g., using only fprintf(),
89 fwrite() and similar).
91 @return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code.
93 int lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects(LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle handle
,
97 Function that fetches data related to a specific URI.
99 The dynamic manifest generator has to fill the resource with data related to
100 object represented by the given URI. For example, if the library exposes a
101 regular LV2 plugin whose URI, as retrieved by the host using
102 lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects() is http://www.example.com/plugin/uri, it
103 should output something like:
106 <http://www.example.com/plugin/uri>
108 doap:name "My Plugin" ;
109 lv2:binary <mylib.so> ;
113 @param handle Dynamic manifest generator handle.
115 @param fp FILE * identifying the resource the host has to set up for the
116 dynamic manifest generator. The host MUST pass a writable resource to this
117 function, and the dynamic manifest generator MUST ONLY perform write
118 operations on it at the current position of the stream (e.g. using only
119 fprintf(), fwrite() and similar).
121 @param uri URI to get data about (in the "plain" form, i.e., absolute URI
122 without Turtle prefixes).
124 @return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code.
126 int lv2_dyn_manifest_get_data(LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle handle
,
131 Function that ends the operations on the dynamic manifest generator.
133 This function SHOULD be used by the dynamic manifest generator to perform
134 cleanup operations, etc.
136 Once this function is called, referring to handle will cause undefined
139 @param handle Dynamic manifest generator handle.
141 void lv2_dyn_manifest_close(LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle handle
);
