# SLV2 Documentation

### 0.6.6

## Overview

SLV2 is a host library to simplify the discovery, loading, and use of LV2 plugins (http://lv2plug.in).

SLV2 is written in standard C99, and depends only on the Redland RDF library (http://librdf.org). It should be portable to any system with Redland, and is tested on various GNU/Linux distributions (often), and MacOS X (occasionally).

The data (RDF) and code (shared library) functionality in SLV2 is strictly separated so it is simple to control where each is used (e.g. it is possible to discover/investigate plugins and related data without loading any shared libraries, avoiding the associated risks).

The SLV2 documentation is broken into several pages:

- slv2_world - Global library initialisation, state, plugin discovery, etc.

- slv2_util - Generally useful utility functions

- slv2_collections - Collections of values (literals and URIs) and objects

- slv2_data - Access to plugin RDF data

- slv2_library - Access to plugin shared libraries
