NAME¶
elektra-libs - libs overview
DESCRIPTION¶
Since version 0.8.15 /doc/decisions/library_split.md libelektra elektra/ is split into following libraries:
Loader¶
loader loader/ contains source files that implement the plugin loader functionality. The files are linked to libelektra elektra/.
Libease¶
libelektra-ease.so
libease ease/ contains data-structure operations on top of libcore which do not depend on internals. Applications and plugins can choose to not link against it if they want to stay minimal.
Libplugin¶
libelektra-plugin.so
libplugin plugin/ contains elektraPlugin* symbols and plugins should link against it.
Libproposal¶
libelektra-proposal.so
libproposal proposal/ contains functions that are proposed for libcore. Depends on internas of libcore and as such must always fit to the exact same version.
Libmeta¶
libelektra-meta.so
libmeta meta/meta.c contains metadata operations as described in METADATA.ini /doc/METADATA.ini. Will be code-generated in the future, so methods should be mechanical reflections of the contents in METADATA.ini /doc/METADATA.ini.
Libcore¶
libelektra-core.so <kdbhelper.h> <kdb.h> (key* and ks*)
Contains the fundamental data-structures every participant of Elektra needs to link against. It should be the only part that access the internal data structures.
Libtools¶
libtools tools/ is a high-level C++ shared-code for tools. It includes:
- plugin interface
- backend interface
- 3-way merge
Utility¶
libutility utility/ provides utility functions to be used in plugins.
Libinvoke¶
libelektra-invoke.so
libinvoke invoke/ provides a simple API allowing us to call functions exported by plugins.
