Rust hexchat-unsafe-plugin

hexchat-unsafe-plugin provides rusty API bindings for developing native HexChat plugins.

To get started, implement hexchat_plugin::Plugin on a struct and use the hexchat_plugin!('a, impl Plugin<'a>) macro in your lib.rs. Do not provide a main, as it will not work. Make sure to use the cdylib crate-type, or it will also not work.

Also note that plugins may be loaded multiple times. It's recommended to avoid using global state (statics, thread locals) so as to not cause issues with it.

Examples

For a production-grade plugin using this crate, take a look at [TODO].
