75 This API is used to facilitate binding code written in C to script
76 objects. The API in this header does not assume the presence of a
77 user agent. That is, it can be used to bind C code to scripting
78 environments outside of the context of a user agent.
80 However, the normal use of the this API is in the context of a
81 scripting environment running in a browser or other user agent.
82 In particular it is used to support the extended Netscape
83 script-ability API for plugins (NP-SAP). NP-SAP is an extension
84 of the Netscape plugin API. As such we have adopted the use of
85 the "NP" prefix for this API.
87 The following NP{N|P}Variables were added to the Netscape plugin
91 NPNVPluginElementNPObject
92 NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject
94 These variables are exposed through NPN_GetValue() and
95 NPP_GetValue() (respectively) and are used to establish the
96 initial binding between the user agent and native code. The DOM
97 objects in the user agent can be examined and manipulated using
98 the NPN_ functions that operate on NPObjects described in this
101 To the extent possible the assumptions about the scripting
102 language used by the scripting environment have been minimized.

245 NPObjects have methods and properties. Methods and properties are
246 identified with NPIdentifiers. These identifiers may be reflected
247 in script. NPIdentifiers can be either strings or integers, IOW,
248 methods and properties can be identified by either strings or
249 integers (i.e. foo["bar"] vs foo[1]). NPIdentifiers can be
250 compared using ==. In case of any errors, the requested
251 NPIdentifier(s) will be NULL. NPIdentifier lifetime is controlled
252 by the browser. Plugins do not need to worry about memory management
253 with regards to NPIdentifiers.

305 NPObjects returned by create, retain, invoke, and getProperty pass
306 a reference count to the caller. That is, the callee adds a

313 NPInvalidateFunctionPtr is called by the scripting environment
314 when the native code is shutdown. Any attempt to message a

316 called will result in undefined behavior, even if the native code
317 is still retaining those NPObject instances. (The runtime
