Getting Started

If you installed buzzay from your linux distribution’s package manager, then you should have access to the plugin API directory which can be included with #include <buzzay-plugin.h>. If it is not, then make sure to grab the buzzay-plugin.h file from the include/ directory in the source code and use it.

Basic Setup

#include <stdio.h>
#include <buzzay-plugin.h>

int buzzay_api_version() {
    return BUZZAY_API_VERSION;
}

char *msg_request(struct bz_plugin *plugin, int argc, char **argv) {
    return "OK!\n";
}

void init_plugin(struct bz_plugin *plugin) {
    printf("Plugin initialized!\n");
}

This is the most basic plugin. Here is what is happening:

• buzzay_api_version This is required to expose the API_VERSION of the library.

• msg_request This function is called when user runs buzzay --msg your_plugin.

• init_plugin This function is called to initialize the plugin.

You will mostly write your code inside the msg_request and init_plugin functions. You can now move on and take a look at the API’s that buzzay-plugin.h provides.
