43 This API is used to facilitate binding code written in C to script
44 objects. The API in this header does not assume the presence of a
45 user agent. That is, it can be used to bind C code to scripting
46 environments outside of the context of a user agent.
48 However, the normal use of the this API is in the context of a
49 scripting environment running in a browser or other user agent.
50 In particular it is used to support the extended Netscape
51 script-ability API for plugins (NP-SAP). NP-SAP is an extension
52 of the Netscape plugin API. As such we have adopted the use of
53 the "NP" prefix for this API.
55 The following NP{N|P}Variables were added to the Netscape plugin
59 NPNVPluginElementNPObject
60 NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject
62 These variables are exposed through NPN_GetValue() and
63 NPP_GetValue() (respectively) and are used to establish the
64 initial binding between the user agent and native code. The DOM
65 objects in the user agent can be examined and manipulated using
66 the NPN_ functions that operate on NPObjects described in this
69 To the extent possible the assumptions about the scripting
70 language used by the scripting environment have been minimized.

213 NPObjects have methods and properties. Methods and properties are
214 identified with NPIdentifiers. These identifiers may be reflected
215 in script. NPIdentifiers can be either strings or integers, IOW,
216 methods and properties can be identified by either strings or
217 integers (i.e. foo["bar"] vs foo[1]). NPIdentifiers can be
218 compared using ==. In case of any errors, the requested
219 NPIdentifier(s) will be NULL. NPIdentifier lifetime is controlled
220 by the browser. Plugins do not need to worry about memory management
221 with regards to NPIdentifiers.

273 NPObjects returned by create, retain, invoke, and getProperty pass
274 a reference count to the caller. That is, the callee adds a
275 reference count which passes to the caller. It is the caller's
276 responsibility to release the returned object.
278 NPInvokeFunctionPtr function may return 0 to indicate a void
281 NPInvalidateFunctionPtr is called by the scripting environment
282 when the native code is shutdown. Any attempt to message a
283 NPObject instance after the invalidate callback has been
284 called will result in undefined behavior, even if the native code
285 is still retaining those NPObject instances. (The runtime
286 will typically return immediately, with 0 or NULL, from an attempt
287 to dispatch to a NPObject, but this behavior should not be
