These functions provide module management.
Eina module provides some helpers over POSIX dlopen(). It is not meant to replace, abstract or make a "portable" version of POSIX, but enhance its usage by defining some good practices.
Modules are created with eina_module_new() and later loaded with eina_module_load(). Loads are reference counted and there must be the same number of eina_module_unload() in order to have it to call dlclose(). This makes simple to have different users for the same module.
The loaded shared objects may have two visible functions that will be called and might provide initialization and shutdown procedures. The symbols are __eina_module_init and __eina_module_shutdown and will be defined by the macros EINA_MODULE_INIT() and EINA_MODULE_SHUTDOWN().
There are some helpers to automatically create modules based on directory listing. See eina_module_arch_list_get(), eina_module_list_get() and eina_module_find().
EINA_MODULE_LICENSE, EINA_MODULE_AUTHOR, EINA_MODULE_VERSION and EINA_MODULE_DESCRIPTION allow you to define module information that can be retrieved with the eina_modinfo tool.
| #define EINA_MODULE_AUTHOR | ( | _author | ) | EINA_MODINFO(author, _author) |
This macro is used for defining author Use "name <email>" or just "name" for multiple authors, use multiple lines like below.
| #define EINA_MODULE_DESCRIPTION | ( | _desc | ) | EINA_MODINFO(desc, _desc) |
This macro is used for defining description.
Explain what your module does.
| #define EINA_MODULE_INIT | ( | f | ) | EXPORTAPI Eina_Module_Init __eina_module_init = &f |
declares the given function as the module initializer (__eina_module_init).
It must be of signature Eina_Module_Init
| #define EINA_MODULE_SHUTDOWN | ( | f | ) | EXPORTAPI Eina_Module_Shutdown __eina_module_shutdown = &f |
declares the given function as to be called on shutdown (__eina_module_shutdown).
It must be of signature Eina_Module_Shutdown
| Eina_Module_Init |
If a function with this signature is exported by module as __eina_module_init, it will be called on the first load after dlopen() and if EINA_FALSE is returned, load will fail, EINA_TRUE means the module was successfully initialized.
| Eina_Module_Shutdown |
If a function with this signature is exported by module as __eina_module_shutdown, it will be called before calling dlclose()
| EINA_API Eina_Module * eina_module_new | ( | const char * | file | ) |
Returns a new module.
| [in] | file | The name of the file module to load. |
file is NULL, or if it does not exist, the function returns NULL, otherwise, it allocates an Eina_Module, stores a duplicate string of file, sets its reference to 0 and its handle to NULL.When the new module is not needed anymore, use eina_module_free() to free the allocated memory.

| EINA_API Eina_Bool eina_module_free | ( | Eina_Module * | module | ) |
Deletes a module.
| [in,out] | module | The module to delete. |
This function calls eina_module_unload() if module has been previously loaded and frees the allocated memory. On success this function returns EINA_TRUE and EINA_FALSE otherwise. If module is NULL, the function returns immediately.

| EINA_API Eina_Bool eina_module_load | ( | Eina_Module * | module | ) |
Loads a module.
| [in,out] | module | The module to load. |
This function load the shared file object passed in eina_module_new(). If it is a internal Eina module (like the mempools), it also initializes it. If the shared file object cannot be loaded, EINA_FALSE is returned. If it is an internal Eina module and the module cannot be initialized, EINA_FALSE is returned. If the module has already been loaded, its reference counter is increased by one and EINA_TRUE is returned. If module is NULL, the function returns immediately EINA_FALSE.
When the symbols of the shared file objects are not needed anymore, call eina_module_unload() to unload the module.

| EINA_API Eina_Bool eina_module_unload | ( | Eina_Module * | module | ) |
Unloads a module.
| [in,out] | module | The module to load. |
This function unload the module module that has been previously loaded by eina_module_load(). If the reference counter of module is strictly greater than 1, EINA_FALSE is returned. Otherwise, the shared object file is closed and if it is a internal Eina module, it is shut down just before. In that case, EINA_TRUE is returned. In all case, the reference counter is decreased. If module is NULL, the function returns immediately EINA_FALSE.

| [in] | symbol | The symbol. |
NULL on failure.This function returns the data associated with symbol of module. module must have been loaded before with eina_module_load(). If module is NULL, or if it has not been correctly loaded before, the function returns immediately NULL.
