load_from_file

Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.2" ) ]
public static VpnEditorPlugin load_from_file (string plugin_name, string check_service, int check_owner, UtilsCheckFilePredicate check_file) throws Error

Load the shared library plugin_name and create a new VpnEditorPlugin instance via the NMVpnEditorPluginFactory function.

If plugin_name is not an absolute path name, it assumes the file is in the plugin directory of NetworkManager. In any case, the call will do certain checks on the file before passing it to dlopen. A consequence for that is, that you cannot omit the ".so" suffix as you could for load.

Parameters:

plugin_name	The path or name of the shared library to load. The path must either be an absolute filename to an existing file. Alternatively, it can be the name (without path) of a library in the plugin directory of NetworkManager.
check_service	if not-null, check that the loaded plugin advertises the given service.
check_owner	if non-negative, check whether the file is owned by UID `check_owner` or by root. In this case also check that the file is not writable by anybody else.
check_file	optional callback to validate the file prior to loading the shared library.
user_data	user data for `check_file`

Returns:

a new plugin instance or null on error.
