D_LIB_SELECT (core module plugins - shutdown)
This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core
D_LIB_SELECT Selector
Parameter: GenericShutdownParam * param
Call type: Single call
A call to PluginLibShutdown
would normally be made during D_GEN_SHUTDOWN
.
The RIP calls D_LIB_SELECT
to perform tasks related to the plugin support library. When it does so, the plugin should call the plugin library function PluginLibSelect
, and return to the RIP whatever value that function returns. D_LIB_SELECT
need only be supported if the plugin is using the plugin support library. The RIP will only ever call D_LIB_SELECT
if the plugin has already initialized the plugin library with a call to its function GenericPluginLibInitialise
, during its own initialization. Note that Core Module plugins perform this differently to input and output plugins:
int32 version = PLUGIN_CONTEXT_VER;
pPlugLibGlobals = GenericPluginLibInitialise( pPluginContext, &version );
The plugin should pass the parameter to the D_LIB_SELECT
call directly to PluginLibSelect
, along with the pPlugLibGlobals
value obtained from the GenericPluginLibInitialise
call it made earlier. The plugin should not use this value directly, and so its fields are not described here.
A call to PluginLibShutdown
would normally be made during D_GEN_SHUTDOWN
, so no text messages can be passed back to the RIP during shutdown.
Note:
Unlike input and output plugins, D_LIB_SELECT
is only called during startup and shutdown when the plugin type is PT_COREMODULE
. In order to pass text back from a halftone module to the RIP Monitor from its exported API functions, the plugin must support SW_HTM_API_VERSION_20100414
or later, and make use of the sw_message_fn
function pointer when it is made available in the sw_htm_instance
structure.
version
The version
field should be ignored.
