Initialize a new, empty world.

If initialization fails, NULL is returned.

Initialize a new, empty world, using an existing Redland context.

Destroy the world, mwahaha.

NB: Destroying the world will leave dangling references in any plugin lists, plugins, etc. Do not destroy the world until you are finished with all objects that came from it.

Load all installed LV2 bundles on the system.

This is the recommended way for hosts to load LV2 data. It does the most reasonable thing to find all installed plugins, extensions, etc. on the system. The environment variable LV2_PATH may be used to set the directories inside which this function will look for bundles. Otherwise a sensible, standard default will be used.

Use of other functions for loading bundles is highly discouraged without a special reason to do so - use this one.

Time = Query

Load a specific bundle.

2 bundle_uri A fully qualified URI to the bundle directory, with the trailing slash, eg. file:///usr/lib/lv2/someBundle/

Normal hosts should not use this function.

Hosts should never attach any long-term significance to bundle paths as there are no guarantees they will remain consistent whatsoever. Plugins (and other things) are identified by URIs, not bundle or file names.

This function should only be used by apps which ship with a special bundle (which it knows exists at some path because the bundle is shipped with the application).

Time = Query

Get the parent of all other plugin classes, lv2:Plugin.

Time = O(1)

Return a list of all found plugin classes.

Returned list is owned by world and must not be freed by the caller.

Time = O(1)

Return a list of all found plugins.

The returned list contains just enough references to query or instantiate plugins. The data for a particular plugin will not be loaded into memory until a call to an slv2_plugin_* function results in a query (at which time the data is cached with the SLV2Plugin so future queries are very fast).

Returned list must be freed by user with slv2_plugins_free. The contained plugins are owned by world and must not be freed by caller.

Time = O(1)

Return a list of found plugins filtered by a user-defined filter function.

All plugins currently found in world that return true when passed to include (a pointer to a function which takes an SLV2Plugin and returns a bool) will be in the returned list.

Returned list must be freed by user with slv2_plugins_free. The contained plugins are owned by world and must not be freed by caller.

Time = O(n * Time(include))
