Function Documentation

vox_load_module()

VOX_EXPORT struct vox_module_methods* vox_load_module	(	const char *	name,
		int	type
	)

Load a module.

This function searches for a module in local (~/.voxvision) or global modules directory or in a directory specified in VOXVISION_MODULES environment variable. If the module is found it is loaded as a shared library and the function module_init() is called in that library. This function returns a pointer to an object of type struct vox_module which contains the module's class and its methods. If the class matches value of type variable, the module's methods are returned.

Parameters

name	Name of the module.
type	Class of the module (e.g. CAMERA_MODULE).

Returns

The module's methods on success or NULL otherwise.
