MVPluginInfo_t

typedef struct _MVPluginInfo_t MVPluginInfo_t

Data structure which is populated by MVInfo with basic information about the plugin.

When a dynamic library is considered as a possible plugin, the Communicator looks for the symbol MVInfo and calls it with a pointer to this structure. The plugin is then expected to populate the fields with the appropriate information about itself and its capabilities, including the API version it was developed against.
