Feature request: ign tool support for introspecting plugin libraries #2

Open scpeters-test opened 6 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Steve Peters (Bitbucket: Steven Peters).


Summary

It would be cool if we could add an ign command file that would enable introspection of a library file by listing the plugins and interfaces present in that library file.

ign plugin --info libPlugin.so

Motivation

It makes it more convenient for downstream users to inspect the interfaces provided by a given plugin library.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could write a c++ executable instead of an ign tool command.

Additional context

None.
