Detailed Description

the CMM API resources struct to implement and set by a CMM

Given an example CMM with name "little cms", which wants to use the four-char ID 'lcms', the CMM can register itself to Oyranos as follows: The CMM module file must be named something_lcms_cmm_module_something.something . On Linux this could be "liboyranos_lcms_cmm_module.so.0.1.8". The four-chars 'lcms' must be prepended with OY_MODULE_NAME alias "_cmm_module".

Oyranos will scan the /color/cmms/ path, opens the available CMM's from this directory and extracts the four-chars before OY_MODULE_NAME from the library file names. Module paths can be added through the OY_MODULE_PATHS environment variable. Oyranos looks for a symbol to a oyCMMInfo_s struct of the four-byte ID plus OY_MODULE_NAME which results in our example in the name "lcms_cmm_module". On Posix system this should be loadable by dlsym. The lcms_cmm_module should be of type oyCMMInfo_s with the type field and all other fields set appropriately.

The api field is a placeholder to get a real api struct assigned. If the CMM wants to provide more than one API, they can be chained.
