plugin

Overview ¶

Package plugin implements loading out-of-tree storage backends using https://golang.org/pkg/plugin/ on Linux and macOS.

If the $RCLONE_PLUGIN_PATH is present, any Go plugins in that dir named like librcloneplugin_NAME.so will be loaded.

To create a plugin, write the backend package like it was in-tree but set the package name to "main". Then, build the plugin with

go build -buildmode=plugin -o librcloneplugin_NAME.so

where NAME equals the plugin's fs.RegInfo.Name.
