Installs a new procedure with the PDB (procedural database).
</p><p>
Call this function from within your Plug-In's <tt class="function">query()</tt> function for
each procedure your Plug-In implements.
</p><p>
The <i class="parameter"><tt>name</tt></i> parameter is mandatory and should be unique, or it will
overwrite an already existing procedure (overwrite procedures only
if you know what you're doing).
</p><p>
The <i class="parameter"><tt>blurb</tt></i>, <i class="parameter"><tt>help</tt></i>, <i class="parameter"><tt>author</tt></i>, <i class="parameter"><tt>copyright</tt></i> and <i class="parameter"><tt>date</tt></i> parameters are
optional but then you shouldn't write procedures without proper
documentation, should you.
</p><p>
<i class="parameter"><tt>menu_label</tt></i> defines the label that should be used for the
procedure's menu entry (use <span class="type">NULL</span> if the procedure shouldn't have a
menu entry). The position where to register in the menu hierarchy
is choosen using <a href="libgimp-gimpplugin.html#gimp-plugin-menu-register"><tt class="function">gimp_plugin_menu_register()</tt></a>. This function also
still accepts the old (pre-2.2) way of registering a menu entry and
takes a string in the form "&lt;Domain&gt;/Path/To/My/Menu"
(e.g. "&lt;Image&gt;/Filters/Render/Useless").
</p><p>
<i class="parameter"><tt>type</tt></i> must be one of <span class="type">GIMP_PLUGIN</span> or <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span>. Note that
temporary procedures must be installed using
<a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-temp-proc"><tt class="function">gimp_install_temp_proc()</tt></a>.
</p><p>
NOTE: Unlike the GIMP 1.2 API, <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span> no longer means
that the procedure's menu prefix is &lt;Toolbox&gt;, but that
it will install temporary procedures. Therefore, the GIMP core
will wait until the <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span> procedure has called
<a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-ack"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_ack()</tt></a>, which means that the procedure has done
its initialization, installed its temporary procedures and is
ready to run.
</p><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Not calling <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-ack"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_ack()</tt></a> from a <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span>

</p><p>
Additionally, a <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span> procedure with no parameters
(<i class="parameter"><tt>n_params</tt></i> == 0 and <i class="parameter"><tt>params</tt></i> == <span class="type">NULL</span>) is an "automatic" extension

Installs a new temporary procedure with the PDB (procedural database).
</p><p>
A temporary procedure is a procedure which is only available while
one of your Plug-In's "real" procedures is running.

See <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-procedure"><tt class="function">gimp_install_procedure()</tt></a> for most details.

procedure.
</p><p>
NOTE: Normally, Plug-In communication is triggered by the Plug-In
and the GIMP core only responds to the Plug-In's requests. You must
explicitely enable receiving of temporary procedure run requests
using either <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-enable"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_enable()</tt></a> or

Enables asnychronous processing of messages from the main GIMP
application.
</p><p>
Normally, a plug-in is not called by the GIMP except for the call
to the procedure it implements. All subsequent communication is
triggered by the plug-in and all messages sent from the GIMP to the
plug-in are just answers to requests the plug-in made.
</p><p>
If the plug-in however registered temporary procedures using
<a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-temp-proc"><tt class="function">gimp_install_temp_proc()</tt></a>, it needs to be able to receive requests
to execute them. Usually this will be done by running
<a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-process"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_process()</tt></a> in an endless loop.
</p><p>
If the plug-in cannot use <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-process"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_process()</tt></a>, i.e. if it has
a GUI and is hanging around in a <a
href="../glib/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GMainLoop"
><span class="type">GMainLoop</span></a>, it must call
<a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-extension-enable"><tt class="function">gimp_extension_enable()</tt></a>.
</p><p>
Note that the plug-in does not need to be a <span class="type">GIMP_EXTENSION</span> to
register temporary procedures.
</p><p>
See also: <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-procedure"><tt class="function">gimp_install_procedure()</tt></a>, <a href="libgimp-gimp.html#gimp-install-temp-proc"><tt class="function">gimp_install_temp_proc()</tt></a></p><p>
