-/** @file
- * C header for the LV2 Dynamic Manifest extension
- * <http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/dyn-manifest>.
- * Revision: 1
- *
- * == Overview ==
- *
- * The LV2 API, on its own, cannot be used to write plugin libraries where
- * data is dynamically generated at runtime (e.g. API wrappers), since LV2
- * requires needed information to be provided in one or more static data (RDF)
- * files. This API addresses this limitation by extending the LV2 API.
- *
- * A host implementing support for this API should first detect that the plugin
- * library implements a dynamic manifest generator by examining its static
- * manifest file, then fetch data from the shared object file by accessing it as
- * usual (dlopen() and family) and using this API.
- *
- * The host is allowed to request regeneration of the dynamic manifest multiple
- * times, and the plugin library is expected to provide updated data if/when
- * possible. All data and references provided via this API before the last
- * regeneration of the dynamic manifest is to be considered invalid by the
- * host, including plugin descriptors whose URIs were discovered using this API.
- *
- * This API is extensible in a similar fashion as the LV2 plugin API.
- *
- * == Threading rules ==
- *
- * This specification defines threading rule classes, similarly to the LV2
- * specification.
- *
- * The functions defined by this API belong to:
- *
- * - Dynamic manifest open class: lv2_dyn_manifest_open()
- * - Dynamic manifest close class: lv2_dyn_manifest_close()
- * - Dynamic manifest file class: lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects(),
- * lv2_dyn_manifest_get_data()
- *
- * The rules that hosts must follow are these:
- *
- * - When a function from the Dynamic manifest open or the Dynamic manifest
- * close class is running, no other functions in the same shared object file
- * may run.
- * - When a function from the Dynamic manifest file class is called, no other
- * functions from the same class may run if they are given at least one
- * FILE * argument with the same value.
- * - A function from the Dynamic manifest open class may not run after a
- * successful call to a function from the same class, in case a function from
- * the Dynamic manifest close class was not successfully called in the
- * meanwhile.
- * - A function from the Dynamic manifest close class may only run after a
- * successful call to a function from the Dynamic manifest open class.
- * - A function from the Dynamic manifest file class may only run beetween a
- * successful call to a function from the Dynamic manifest open class and the
- * following successful call to a function from the Dynamic manifest close
- * class.
- *
- * Extensions to this specification which add new functions MUST declare in
- * which of these classes the functions belong, or define new classes for them;
- * furthermore, classes defined by such extensions MUST only allow calls after
- * a successful call to a function from the Dynamic manifest open class and
- * before the following successful call to a function from the Dynamic manifest
- * close class.
- *
- * Any simultaneous calls that are not explicitly forbidden by these rules are
- * allowed.

-/** Dynamic manifest generator handle.
- *
- * This handle indicates a particular status of a dynamic manifest generator.
- * The host MUST NOT attempt to interpret it and, unlikely LV2_Handle, it is NOT
- * even valid to compare this to NULL. The dynamic manifest generator may use it
- * to reference internal data. */
-typedef void * LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle;

-/** Accessing data.
- *
- * Whenever a host wants to access data using this API, it could:
- *
- * 1. Call lv2_dyn_manifest_open();
- * 2. Create an empty resource identified by a FILE *;
- * 3. Get a "list" of exposed subject URIs using
- * lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects();
- * 4. Call lv2_dyn_manifest_get_data() for each URI of interest, in order to
- * get data related to that URI (either by calling the function subsequently
- * with the same FILE * resource, or by creating more FILE * resources to
- * perform parallel calls);
- * 5. Call lv2_dyn_manifest_close();
- * 6. Parse the content of the FILE * resource(s).
- * 7. Free/delete/unlink the FILE * resource(s).
- *
- * The content of the FILE * resources has to be interpreted by the host as a
- * regular file in Turtle syntax. This also means that each FILE * resource
- * should also contain needed prefix definitions, in case any are used.
- *
- * Each call to lv2_dyn_manifest_open() automatically implies the (re)generation
- * of the dynamic manifest on the library side.
- *
- * When such calls are made, data fetched from the involved library using this
- * API before such call is to be considered no more valid.
- *
- * In case the library uses this same API to access other dynamic manifests, it
- * MUST implement some mechanism to avoid potentially endless loops (such as A
- * loads B, B loads A, etc.) in functions from the Dynamic manifest open class
- * (the open-like operation MUST fail). For this purpose, use of a static
- * boolean flag is suggested.
- */
-
-/** Function that (re)generates the dynamic manifest.
- *
- * handle is a pointer to an uninitialized dynamic manifest generator handle.
- *
- * features is a NULL terminated array of LV2_Feature structs which
- * represent the features the host supports. The dynamic manifest geenrator may
- * refuse to (re)generate the dynamic manifest if required features are not
- * found here (however hosts SHOULD NOT use this as a discovery mechanism,
- * instead of reading the static manifest file). This array must always exist;
- * if a host has no features, it MUST pass a single element array containing
- * NULL.
- *
- * This function MUST return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code, and
- * the host SHOULD evaluate the result of the operation by examining the
- * returned value, rather than try to interpret the value of handle.
- */
-int lv2_dyn_manifest_open(LV2_Dyn_Manifest_Handle * handle,
- const LV2_Feature *const * features);
-
-/** Function that fetches a "list" of subject URIs exposed by the dynamic
- * manifest generator.
- *
- * handle is the dynamic manifest generator handle.
- *
- * fp is the FILE * identifying the resource the host has to set up for the
- * dynamic manifest generator. The host MUST pass a writable, empty resource to
- * this function, and the dynamic manifest generator MUST ONLY perform write
- * operations on it at the end of the stream (e.g. use only fprintf(), fwrite()
- * and similar).
- *
- * The dynamic manifest generator has to fill the resource only with the needed
- * triples to make the host aware of the "objects" it wants to expose. For
- * example, if the library exposes a regular LV2 plugin, it should output only a
- * triple like the following:
- *
- * <http://www.example.com/plugin/uri> a lv2:Plugin .
- *
- * This function MUST return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code.

-/** Function that fetches data related to a specific URI.
- *
- * handle is the dynamic manifest generator handle.
- *
- * fp is the FILE * identifying the resource the host has to set up for the
- * dynamic manifest generator. The host MUST pass a writable resource to this
- * function, and the dynamic manifest generator MUST ONLY perform write
- * operations on it at the current position of the stream (e.g. use only
- * fprintf(), fwrite() and similar).
- *
- * uri is the URI to get data about (in the "plain" form, a.k.a. without RDF
- * prefixes).
- *
- * The dynamic manifest generator has to fill the resource with data related to
- * the URI. For example, if the library exposes a regular LV2 plugin whose URI,
- * as retrieved by the host using lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects() is
- * http://www.example.com/plugin/uri, it should output something like:
- *
- * <http://www.example.com/plugin/uri> a lv2:Plugin;
- * lv2:binary <mylib.so>;
- * doap:name "My Plugin";
- * ... etc...
- *
- * This function MUST return 0 on success, otherwise a non-zero error code.
