## Object Hierarchy

        ╰── RygelRecursiveModuleLoader
            ╰── RygelPluginLoader

## Description

It probes for shared library files in a specific directory, tries to find a `module_init()` function with this signature: `void module_init (RygelPluginLoader* loader);`

It then calls that function, passing a pointer to itself. The loaded module can then add plugins to Rygel by calling the `rygel_plugin_loader_add_plugin()` function.

## Functions

### RYGEL_TYPE_PLUGIN_LOADER

    #define RYGEL_TYPE_PLUGIN_LOADER (rygel_plugin_loader_get_type ())

The type for RygelPluginLoader.

### rygel_plugin_loader_plugin_disabled ()

    gboolean

                                         const gchar *name);

Checks if a plugin is disabled by the user

#### Parameters

    RygelPluginLoader *
    rygel_plugin_loader_new (void);

## Types and Values

### struct RygelPluginLoader

    struct RygelPluginLoader;

This class is responsible for plugin loading.

It probes for shared library files in a specific directory, tries to find a `module_init()` function with this signature: `void module_init (RygelPluginLoader* loader);`

It then calls that function, passing a pointer to itself. The loaded module can then add plugins to Rygel by calling the `rygel_plugin_loader_add_plugin()` function.

### struct RygelPluginLoaderClass

    struct RygelPluginLoaderClass {
    	RygelRecursiveModuleLoaderClass parent_class;
    };

The class structure for `RYGEL_TYPE_PLUGIN_LOADER`. All the fields in this structure are private and should never be accessed directly.

#### Members

RygelRecursiveModuleLoaderClass `parent_class`; | the parent class structure |

## Signal Details

                   RygelPlugin       *plugin,
                   gpointer           user_data)

#### Parameters

plugin_loader | the RygelPluginLoader instance that received the signal |
plugin |  |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
