6.3 - Adding Functionality to a Driver (Accessories)

Driver accessories allow functionality to be added to a driver without completely replacing it.

Each driver can be written to support different amounts and types of extensibility through creators or signals. The GUI APIprovides a common mechanism for installing additional functionality on a per-driver basis through the use of driver accessories. A driver accessory is a simple interface for executing code when a driver starts. An accessory is registered with the display engine and can support any driver class that it knows how to interface with. The simulation drivers fully support modular extensibility using accessories.
