/*
 * vlib plugin scheme
 *
 * Almost anything which can be made to work in a vlib unix
 * application will also work in a vlib plugin.
 *
 * The elf-section magic which registers static objects
 * works so long as plugins are preset when the vlib unix process
 * starts. But wait: there's more...
 *
 * If an application calls vlib_load_new_plugins() -- possibly after
 * changing vlib_plugin_main.plugin_path / vlib_plugin_main.plugin_name_filter,
 * -- new plugins will be loaded. That, in turn, allows considerable
 * flexibility in terms of adding feature code or fixing bugs without
 * requiring the data-plane process to restart.
 *
 * When the plugin mechanism loads a plugin, it uses dlsym to locate
 * and call the plugin's function vlib_plugin_register() if it exists.
 * A plugin which expects to be loaded after the vlib application
 * starts uses this callback to modify the application. If vlib_plugin_register
 * returns non-zero, the plugin mechanism dlclose()'s the plugin.
 *
 * Applications control the plugin search path and name filter by
 * declaring the variables vlib_plugin_path and vlib_plugin_name_filter.
 * libvlib.la supplies weak references for these symbols which
 * effectively disable the scheme. In order for the elf-section magic to
 * work, static plugins must be loaded at the earliest possible moment.
 *
 * An application can change these parameters at any time and call
 * vlib_load_new_plugins().
