/**
 * \mainpage
 *
 * This C/C++ SDK allows external developers to create plugins that
 * can be loaded into Orthanc to extend its functionality. Each
 * Orthanc plugin must expose 4 public functions with the following
 * signatures:
 * 
 * -# <tt>int32_t OrthancPluginInitialize(const OrthancPluginContext* context)</tt>:
 *    This function is invoked by Orthanc when it loads the plugin on startup.
 *    The plugin must:
 *    - Check its compatibility with the Orthanc version using
 *      ::OrthancPluginCheckVersion().
 *    - Store the context pointer so that it can use the plugin 
 *      services of Orthanc.
 *    - Register all its REST callbacks using ::OrthancPluginRegisterRestCallback().
 *    - Possibly register its callback for received DICOM instances using ::OrthancPluginRegisterOnStoredInstanceCallback().
 *    - Possibly register its callback for changes to the DICOM store using ::OrthancPluginRegisterOnChangeCallback().
 *    - Possibly register a custom storage area using ::OrthancPluginRegisterStorageArea().
 *    - Possibly register a custom database back-end area using OrthancPluginRegisterDatabaseBackendV2().
 *    - Possibly register a handler for C-Find SCP against DICOM worklists using OrthancPluginRegisterWorklistCallback().
 *    - Possibly register a custom decoder for DICOM images using OrthancPluginRegisterDecodeImageCallback().
 * -# <tt>void OrthancPluginFinalize()</tt>:
 *    This function is invoked by Orthanc during its shutdown. The plugin
 *    must free all its memory.
 * -# <tt>const char* OrthancPluginGetName()</tt>:
 *    The plugin must return a short string to identify itself.
 * -# <tt>const char* OrthancPluginGetVersion()</tt>:
 *    The plugin must return a string containing its version number.
 *
 * The name and the version of a plugin is only used to prevent it
 * from being loaded twice. Note that, in C++, it is mandatory to
 * declare these functions within an <tt>extern "C"</tt> section.
 * 
 * To ensure multi-threading safety, the various REST callbacks are
 * guaranteed to be executed in mutual exclusion since Orthanc
 * 0.8.5. If this feature is undesired (notably when developing
 * high-performance plugins handling simultaneous requests), use
 * ::OrthancPluginRegisterRestCallbackNoLock().
