dummy_plugin(1)

Usage

dummy_plugin [X-options] [siod-options] [filename ...]

Overview

dummy_plugin is used by applications in the Siag Office package to allow applications that were not designed as plugins to be embedded into documents.

Options

X-options: See on-line documentation.

SIOD-options: See on-line documentation.

Files

$SIAGHOME/plugins/dummy.scm: is automatically read on startup and contains the configuration necessary to tell dummy_plugin what to do with different types of files.

$HOME/.siag/dummy.scm: contains optional Scheme code which should be loaded after dummy.scm. This allows the user to override system-wide sttings for the dummy plugin.

Diagnostics

Most error messages come from SIOD and are printed on the bottom line. See SIOD source and documentation for interpretation.

Limitations

Due to the fact that the "kidnapped" applications do not speak the communications protol for plugins used by the Siag Office suite, there may be no way to do things that would be expected from normal plugins, such as loading and saving files, printing or even terminating gracefully.

Version

The dummy plugin is part of Siag Office by Ulric Eriksson, [email protected].

Acknowledgements

Major parts of this program are written by people other than myself. There is no reason to re-implement stuff that is already freely available.

For copyright information and installation instructions, see the various packages. The sources are hacked by Yours Truly to give the programs a uniform look. If you don't approve of that and/or already have the programs installed, there is no need to install my versions.

These are not the original versions. If my modifications break anything, complain to me about it, not the original authors. If the original versions work and mine don't, then don't use mine.

SIOD

The embedded Scheme interpreter is an extremely small interpreter called Siod, which can be used stand-alone or easily integrated into a program as an extension language.
