 *
 *    'option_help' is the usage string to print when the user
 *    requests --help.  This will be used if 'option_help_fn' is NULL.
 *    This argument may be NULL.
 *
 *    'option_help_fn' is a function which optionally prints a help
 *    message for the option.  This argument may be NULL.
 *
 *    'opt' is a callback function.  'opt(opt_arg, cbdata)' will be
 *    called back when the 'option_name' is seen as an option.  If no
 *    argument is given to the switch, 'opt_arg' will be NULL.
 *
 *    'opt_cbdata' will be passed back unchanged to the plugin as a
 *    parameter in the 'opt' and 'option_help_fn' callback functions.

 *    will be supplied after the 'num_entries' argument.

 *
 *    'return_field' is a handle to the newly created field.  (Can be
 *    NULL.)
 *
 *    'name' is the string that is the primary name of the field, and
 *    by default will be the value returned by skPluginFieldTitle() to
 *    the application.
 *
 *    'description' is a textual description of the field.  If
 *    provided, it will be returned by skPluginFieldDescription().
 *
 *    'regdata' is a struct of type skplugin_callbacks_t, which should

 *
 *      'column_width' is the number of characters (not including

 *      longest value of the field.  This value can be zero if not
 *      used, or if it will be set later using skpinSetFieldWidths().
 *
 *      'bin_bytes' is the number of bytes required to hold a binary
 *      representation of a value of the field.  This value can be
 *      zero if not used, or if it will be set later using
 *      skpinSetFieldWidths().
 *
 *      The application will call 'init(cbdata)' when the application
 *      has decided this field will be used, before processing data.
 *      It may be NULL.
 *
 *      'cleanup(cbdata)' is called after all records have been
 *      processed.  It may be NULL.
 *
 *      'rec_to_text' is a callback function of type
 *      skplugin_text_fn_t.  'rec_to_text(rec, dst, width, cbdata)' is
 *      called to fetch the textual value for a field given the SiLK
 *      Flow record 'rec'.  'rec_to_text()' should write no more than
 *      'column_width' bytes into 'dst'.  The parameter 'width'
 *      specifies the size of 'dst', which may be equal to
 *      'column_width'.
 *
 *      'rec_to_bin' is a callback function of type skplugin_bin_fn_t.
 *      'rec_to_bin(rec, dst, cbdata)' is called to fetch the binary
 *      value for this field given the SiLK Flow record 'rec'.
 *      'rec_to_bin' should write exactly 'bin_bytes' bytes into
 *      'dst'.  If an application requires a rec-to-binary function
 *      but 'rec_to_bin' is NULL and 'rec_to_text' is present,
 *      'rec_to_text' will be used instead, and 'column_width' will be
 *      used as the width for binary values (zeroing out the
 *      destination area before it is written to).
 *
 *      'add_rec_to_bin' is a callback function of type
 *      skplugin_bin_fn_t.  'rec_to_bin(rec, dst, cbdata)' is called
 *      to add to the binary value in 'dst' based on the SiLK Flow
 *      record given in 'rec'.  'rec_to_bin' should write exactly
 *      'bin_bytes' bytes into 'dst'.  This function is only used for
 *      aggregate value fields.
 *
 *      'bin_to_text(bin, dst, width, cbdata)' is called to get a
 *      textual representation of the value in 'bin', where 'bin' was
 *      set by a call to 'rec_to_bin' or 'add_rec_to_bin'.  The
 *      'bin_to_text' callback should write no more than 'width'
 *      characters into 'dst'.
 *
 *      'bin_merge(dst, src, cbdata)' is called to merge the binary
 *      aggregate values of 'src' and 'dst' into 'dst'.
 *
 *      'bin_compare(val, a, b, cbdata)' is called to compare the
 *      binary aggregate values 'a' and 'b'.  It must set 'val' to an
 *      integer indicating whether 'a' is less than, equal to, or
 *      greater than 'b'.  If this function is NULL, memcmp() will be
 *      used on the binary values instead.
 *
 *      'initial' represents the inital value of the binary aggregate
 *      value.  It should contain be exactly 'bin_bytes' bytes.  If
 *      not given, the field will be initialzed to all NULs.
 *
 *      'extra' is a NULL-terminated constant array of strings
 *      representing "extra arguments".  Read the EXTRA ARGUMENTS
 *      section for information on these arguments.  It may be NULL.
 *
 *    NOTE: When sorting, the binary values provided by 'rec_to_bin()
 *    will be sorted using memcmp().  If the plugin wants to enforce a
 *    specific ordering, it should be sure to produce values that will
 *    sort correctly.
 *
 *    If 'name' or 'regdata' is NULL, skpinRegField() sets
 *    'return_field', if provided, to NULL and returns SKPLUGIN_ERR.

 *    EXTRA ARGUMENTS
 *
 ********************************************************************/

/*
 *    Extra arguments are sets of extra information that can be passed
 *    to plugin functions on a per-SiLK Flow record (rwrec) basis.
 *    Extra arguments are named, and it is the responsibility of the
 *    application and plugin writers to agree on what type of data
 *    each name is associated with.
 *
 *    Extra arguments are meant to be used when a plugin can make use
 *    of extra information associated with an rwrec that is not in the
 *    rwrec itself.  Some plugins may actually require certain extra
 *    arguments in order to work.  An example: rwptoflow supports a
 *    transform function that requires the original packet data as
 *    context.
 *
 *    Extra arguments are meant to be used as follows:
 *
 *    a) The application registers the set of extra data it can supply
 *       with each record using skPluginSetAppExtraArgs().
 *
 *    b) The plugin gets information about what extra arguments are
 *       available using skpinGetAppExtraArgs().
 *
 *    c) If the plugin wishes to use the any of the extra arguments,
 *       it provides the names of those arguments, and the order in
 *       which is will expect them, as a NULL-terminated list in the
 *       'extra' field of the skplugin_callbacks_t structure.  The
 *       plugin may only include names that it received in the call to
 *       skpinGetAppExtraArgs().  There is less overheaad involved if
 *       the plugin specifies the arguments in the same order specifed
 *       in skpinGetAppExtraArgs().
 *
 *    d) After plugins have been loaded, the application finds out
 *       what extra arguments are being requested by the plugins via
 *       skPluginGetPluginExtraArgs().  These extra arguments MUST be
 *       used by the application, as the plugin will be expecting
 *       them.
 *
 *    e) The application then registers what extra arguments it will
 *       send, and in what order, using the
 *       skPluginSetUsedAppExtraArgs() function.  This set must
 *       include the extra arguments returned by
 *       skPluginGetPluginExtraArgs().
 *
 *    f) The application will hand the extra arguments to calls of
 *       skPluginRun*Fn() and skPluginFieldRun*Fn() in the order
 *       specified in skPluginSetUsedAppExtraArgs().  (Can send NULL
 *       if no extra arguments registered).  The plugins will receive
 *       the extra arguments they asked for in the order specified in
 *       Step (c) above.  The application and its plugins can reduce
 *       the overhead in the skPlugin layer by specifying the same set
 *       of extra arguments in the same order.
