  \brief Definitions of IDP, LDR, PLUGIN module interfaces

  This file also contains:
    - functions to load files into the database
    - functions to generate output files
    - high level functions to work with the database (open, save, close)

  The LDR interface consists of one structure: loader_t      \n
  The IDP interface consists of one structure: processor_t   \n
  The PLUGIN interface consists of one structure: plugin_t

  Modules can't use standard FILE* functions.
  They must use functions from <fpro.h>

  Modules can't use standard memory allocation functions.
  They must use functions from <pro.h>

  The exported entry #1 in the module should point to the
  the appropriate structure. (loader_t for LDR module, for example)
