Conventions used in this manual

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core

All conventions are explained as they are first used. Here are some widely‐used conventions.

Selectors

How the RIP communicates with a plugin explains how the RIP calls plugins with an argument called a selector , always starting with the form D_... It is simpler, however, to describe a call to the plugin with a particular selector among the arguments as calling that selector. Rather than saying:

The RIP calls the plugin with the selector D_INITIALISE ... It is easier to say this:

The RIP calls D_INITIALISE ...

Structure fields
