Calling the Code Fragment Manager

If your application uses plug-ins, you must prepare them explicitly by calling the Code Fragment Manager from your code. This section describes some of the routines you can use to prepare fragments and find symbols exported from other fragments.

IMPORTANT

In general, the Code Fragment Manager automatically loads all import libraries required by your application at the time your application is launched. You need to use the routines described in this section only if your application supports dynamically loaded plug-ins.
