Detailed Description

The kernel will be responsible for loading and unloading of modules, storing information about the status of OpenVL, storing other important information like version number etc.

Currently the kernel will simply load all modules when started.

Definition at line 178 of file vlkernel.cpp. References m_apiVersion. Referenced by vlPluginManager::loadPlugins(), and queryPlugin().

std::string vlKernel::getFileExtensionsKDEStyle (   )  [static]

Todo: Add file extensions to the pluginInfo.. so that this can be achieved w/o loaded all plugins! Definition at line 120 of file vlkernel.cpp. References vlVolFioFilter::getFileExtensions(), vlTrader::getPluginsForGroup(), instance(), and trader().

void vlKernel::initialize (   )  [static]

This function call is not a necessity. If this function is not called, then the plugins are initialized the first time a plugin is used. For e.g., you try to load a file.. it would internally need plugins and so the initialization will take place then. Call this function if you want to load plugins at a specific time in your application. Say, at the beginning.
