Loading and Initializing the Filter

For each shared library (plug-in) containing custom SAFs to be loaded into Proxy Server, add an Init directive that invokes the load-modules SAF to obj.conf. The syntax for a directive that loads a filter plug-in is:

Init fn=load-modules shlib=[path]sharedlibname NativeThread="no"

• shlib is the local file system path to the shared library (plug-in).

• NativeThread indicates whether the plug-in requires native threads. Filters should be written to run on any type of thread. For more information, see Writing the Source Code.

When the server encounters such a directive, server calls the plug-in’s nsapi_module_init function to initialize the filter.
