## Discussion

Discussion You need this callback only for OS X plug-ins. When youcreate a TEC plug-in in OS X you must export a function named ConverterPluginGetPluginDispatchTable withthe following prototype: extern TECPluginDispatchTable *ConverterPluginGetPluginDispatchTable(void) This function must return a pointer to the function dispatchtable for the plug-in. It is important you name the function ConverterPluginGetPluginDispatchTable because TECPluginGetPluginDispatchTablePtr isa function pointer to a function of this exact name.
