documentation for plugin writers? #212

Is there any documentation for plugin writers, could you point me to it?

What is the context in which a plugin script runs?

Which resources can a script rely on? Can it access anywhere in the file system? write a temporary file? Where?
Can it use networking resources?

Is everything that a plugin writes collected? Maybe if it is in the "current" directory? Can a plugin script change the current working directory?

Thanks for any help,

C

Hi C,
More visible documentation for plugins is probably still needed in the readme.md. The basics are provided in the man page supportconfig(8), and also a slightly more verbose here: CreatingaSupportconfigPlugin
