zsv can easily be extended by simply creating a shared library
that implements the interface specified in zsv/ext/implementation.h
This C file is a template you can use to implement your own extension.
To use the template:
- Copy the files in this directory (Makefile, configure, and YOUR_EXTENSION_zsvext.c) to the location where your extension source will reside
- Customize YOUR_EXTENSION_zsvext.c as appropriate (see comments in the C code for further details)
- Optionally, rename YOUR_EXTENSION_zsvext.c and update the Makefile accordingly
To build the extension, zsvlib and related include files must be installed
(Obviously, since this is a zsv extension, you need zsv to run it)
To build the shared library file, run:
./configure && make
To install, place the shared library file in any system path, or in the same
folder as zsv, then run:
zsv register XX
where XX is the ID of your extension
