+NAME
+----
+tep_load_plugins, tep_unload_plugins, tep_load_plugins_hook - Load / unload traceevent plugins.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]*tep_load_plugins*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_unload_plugins*(struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]_plugin_list_, struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_load_plugins_hook*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_suffix_,
+			   void (pass:[*]_load_plugin_)(struct tep_handle pass:[*]tep,
+					       const char pass:[*]path,
+					       const char pass:[*]name,
+					       void pass:[*]data),
+			   void pass:[*]_data_);

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function loads all plugins, located in the plugin
+directories. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The plugin directories are :
+[verse]
+--
+	- Directories, specified in _tep_->plugins_dir with priority TEP_PLUGIN_FIRST
+	- System's plugin directory, defined at the library compile time. It
+	  depends on the library installation prefix and usually is
+	  _(install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+	- Directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
+	- User's plugin directory, located at _~/.local/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+	- Directories, specified in _tep_->plugins_dir with priority TEP_PLUGIN_LAST
+--
+Loading of plugins can be controlled by the _tep_flags_, using the
+_tep_set_flag()_ API:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_	- do not load plugins, located in
+					the system's plugin directory.
+	_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_		- do not load any plugins.
+--
+The _tep_set_flag()_ API needs to be called before _tep_load_plugins()_, if
+loading of all plugins is not the desired case.
+
+The _tep_unload_plugins()_ function unloads the plugins, previously loaded by
+_tep_load_plugins()_. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The
+_plugin_list_ is the list of loaded plugins, returned by
+the _tep_load_plugins()_ function.
+
+The _tep_load_plugins_hook_ function walks through all directories with plugins
+and calls user specified _load_plugin()_ hook for each plugin file. Only files
+with given _suffix_ are considered to be plugins. The _data_ is a user specified
+context, passed to _load_plugin()_. Directories and the walk order are the same
+as in _tep_load_plugins()_ API.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function returns a list of successfully loaded plugins,
+or NULL in case no plugins are loaded.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+struct tep_plugin_list *plugins = tep_load_plugins(tep);
+if (plugins == NULL) {
+	/* no plugins are loaded */
+}
+...
+tep_unload_plugins(plugins, tep);
+...
+void print_plugin(struct tep_handle *tep, const char *path,
+		  const char *name, void *data)
+{
+	pritnf("Found libtraceevent plugin %s/%s\n", path, name);
+}
+...
+tep_load_plugins_hook(tep, ".so", print_plugin, NULL);
