Chapter 52. Parameters for Registering Plug-in Functions
The parameters listed in this section identify plug-in functions recognized by the server. To register your plug-in function, set the value of the appropriate parameter to the name of your function.
Note
With the exception of the parameters for matching rule plug-in functions, you do not need to get the value of any of these parameters.
