+This extension defines an interface that can be used in LV2 plugins and hosts
+to create UIs for plugins. The UIs are similar to plugins and reside in shared object
+files in an LV2 bundle. UIs are associated with a plugin in RDF using the triples
+<pre>
+@prefix ui: &lt;http://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui#&gt; .
+
+&lt;http://my.plugin&gt; ui:ui &lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; .
+&lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; a ui:GtkUI ;
+ ui:binary &lt;myui.so&gt; .
+</pre>
+where &lt;http://my.plugin&gt; is the URI of the plugin,
+&lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; is the URI of the plugin UI and &lt;myui.so&gt;
+is the relative URI to the shared object file.
+
+While it is possible to have the plugin UI and the plugin in the same shared
+object file it is probably a good idea to keep them separate so that hosts
+that don't want UIs don't have to load the UI code. A UI MUST specify its
+class in the RDF data (ui:GtkUI in the above example). The class defines what
+type the UI is, e.g. what graphics toolkit it uses. Any type of UI class can
+be defined separately from this extension.
+
+(Note: the prefix above is used throughout this file for the same URI)
+
+It is possible to have multiple UIs for the same plugin, or to have the UI
+for a plugin in a different bundle from the actual plugin - this way people
+other than the plugin author can write plugin UIs independently without
+editing the original plugin bundle.
+
+Note that the process that loads the shared object file containing the UI
+code and the process that loads the shared object file containing the actual
+plugin implementation are not necessarily the same process (and not even
+necessarily on the same machine). This means that plugin and UI code can
+<b>not</b> use singletons and global variables and expect them to refer to
+the same objects in the UI and the actual plugin. The function callback
+interface defined in this header is the only method of communication between
+UIs and plugin instances (extensions may define more, though this is
+discouraged unless absolutely necessary since the significant benefits of
+network transparency and serialisability are lost).
+
+Since the LV2 specification itself allows for extensions that may add new
+functionality that could be useful to control with a UI, this extension
+allows for meta-extensions that can extend the interface between the UI and
+the host. These extensions mirror the extensions used for plugins - there are
+required and optional "features" that you declare in the RDF data for the UI as
+<pre>
+&lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; lv2:requiredFeature &lt;http://my.feature&gt; .
+&lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; lv2:optionalFeature &lt;http://my.feature&gt; .
+</pre>
+The rules for a UI with a required or optional feature are identical to those
+of lv2:Plugin instances: if a UI declares a feature as required, the host is
+NOT allowed to load it unless it supports that feature; and if it does support
+a feature, it MUST pass an appropriate LV2_Feature struct to the UI's
+instantiate() method. These features may be used to specify how to pass
+specific types of data between the UI and the plugin port buffers
+(see LV2UI_Write_Function for details).
+
+UIs written to this specification do not need to be threadsafe - the
+functions defined below may only be called in the same thread the UI
+main loop is running in.
+
+Note that this UI extension is NOT a lv2:Feature. There is no way for a
+plugin to know whether the host that loads it supports UIs or not, and
+the plugin must always work without the UI (although it may be rather
+useless unless it has been configured using the UI in a previous session).
+From the plugin perspective, control from a UI is the same as control
+from anywhere else (e.g. the host, the user): via ports.
+
+A UI does not have to be a graphical widget, it could just as well be a
+server listening for OSC input or an interface to some sort of hardware
+device, depending on the RDF class of the UI.

+ui:makeSONameResident a lv2:Feature ;
+ rdfs:comment """
+This feature is ELF specific - it should only be used by UIs that
+use the ELF file format for the UI shared object files (e.g. on Linux).
+If it is required by an UI the UI should also list a number of SO names
+(shared object names) for libraries that the UI shared object
+depends on and that may not be unloaded during the lifetime of the host
+process, using the predicate @c ui:residentSONames, like this:
+<pre>
+&lt;http://my.pluginui&gt; ui:residentSONames "libgtkmm-2.4.so.1", "libfoo.so.0"
+</pre>
+The host MUST then make sure that the shared libraries with the given ELF
+SO names are not unloaded when the plugin UI is, but stay loaded during
+the entire lifetime of the host process. On Linux this can be accomplished
+by calling dlopen() on the shared library file with that SO name and never
+calling a matching dlclose(). However, if a plugin UI requires the
+@c ui:makeSONameResident feature, it MUST ALWAYS be safe for the host to
+just never unload the shared object containing the UI implementation, i.e.
+act as if the UI required the @c ui:makeResident feature instead. Thus
+the host only needs to find the shared library files corresponding to the
+given SO names if it wants to save RAM by unloading the UI shared object
+file when it is no longer needed. The data pointer for the LV2_Feature for
+this feature should always be set to NULL.
