/*
 * ShareData.c
 * 
 * This is an example plugin that demonstrates how to share data, both owned
 * by a plugin and shared.
 * 
 * Data can be published in two ways: a plugin can publish data it owns.
 * In this case, it provides callbacks to read (and optionally write) the
 * data.  As other plugins access the data ref, the SDK calls back the
 * accessors.
 * 
 * Data can also be shared.  In this case, the SDK allocates the memory
 * for the data.  Each plugin that shares it registers a callback that is
 * called by the SDK when any plugin writes the data.
 * 
 * We use the xplanesdk namespace to allocate unique data refs.  When creating
 * your own datarefs, make sure to prefix the data ref with a domain unique to
 * your organization.  'sim' is the domain for the main simulator.
 *
