/* Architectural aspects */
/*
libdax_msgs is designed to serve in libraries which want to offer their
applications a way to control the output of library messages. It shall be
incorporated by an owner, i.e. a software entity which encloses the code
of the .c file.
Owner of libdax_msgs is libburn. A fully compatible variant named libiso_msgs
is owned by libisofs and can get generated by a script of the libburn
project: libburn/libdax_msgs_to_xyz_msgs.sh .
Reason: One cannot link two owners of the same variant together because
both would offer the same functions to the linker. For that situation one
has to create a compatible variant as it is done for libisofs.
Compatible variants may get plugged together by call combinations like
burn_set_messenger(iso_get_messenger());
A new variant would demand a _set_messenger() function if it has to work
with libisofs. If only libburn is planned as link partner then a simple
_get_messenger() does suffice.
Take care to shutdown libburn before its provider of the *_msgs object
gets shut down.
