Programmer-Defined Functions
The programmer who implements a shell plug-in must define its installation function. When you implement the installation function for your shell plug-in, you must be careful to observe the following conventions:
The following description of the
- Your function must be named
ODShellPluginInstall; case is important. If you misspell the name, your shell plug-in will not be installed.- Your function's parameters and return type must match those specified for the
ODShellPluginInstallProctype.- If installation succeeds, your function must return the value
noErr.- The compiler must export the name of your function as an entry point.
- Your function must follow C calling conventions. If you use C++, you must surround your installation function's declaration with an
extern "C"declaration to ensure that parameters are passed in the correct order on 680x0 systems.
