* This API is extensible in a similar fashion as the LV2 API.
*
+ * == Accessing data ==
+ *
+ * Whenever a host wants to access data using this API, it could:
+ *
+ * -# Call lv2_dyn_manifest_open();
+ * -# Create an empty resource identified by a FILE *;
+ * -# Get a "list" of exposed subject URIs using
+ * lv2_dyn_manifest_get_subjects();
+ * -# 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);
+ * -# Call lv2_dyn_manifest_close();
+ * -# Parse the content of the FILE * resource(s).
+ * -# 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 plugin 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.) and, in case such a loop is
+ * detected, the operation MUST fail. For this purpose, use of a static boolean
+ * flag is suggested.
+ *
* == 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.
+ * All of the functions defined by this specification belong to the Discovery
+ * 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.
