GnomeVFSMethod* vfs_module_init (const char *method_name, const char *args); |
Standard extern call implemented by each filesystem module. This is called to initialize the module and setup any basic structures / connections the method requires. It also allows the module to identify the URI method it is associated with in this instance.
method_name : | name of the method that invoked this module (e.g. "http", "ftp", "file"). |
args : | not used by most modules, but potential arguments for creating the module (could be a file to point at, for example) |
Returns : | the module symbol table, pointing to the appropriate calls for this module. |
GnomeVFSTransform* vfs_module_transform (const char *method_name, const char *args); |
Shift an already instanced module to a new method name. This call is not implemented by most modules and is optional.
method_name : | name of the method that invoked this module (e.g. "http", "ftp", "file"). |
args : | not used by most modules, but potential arguments for creating the module (could be a file to point at, for example) |
Returns : | the module symbol table, pointing to the appropriate calls for this module. |
void vfs_module_shutdown (GnomeVFSMethod *method); |
Called to tell a module to end any active operations, free all used memory, and close any connections (as appropriate) or resources.
method : | the symbol table of the module being shut down |
