### CamelProviderAutoDetectFunc ()

    gint                (*CamelProviderAutoDetectFunc)      (CamelURL *url,
                                                             GHashTable **auto_detected,

### struct CamelProviderModule

    struct CamelProviderModule {
    	gchar *path;
    	GSList *types;
    	guint loaded : 1;
    };

### camel_provider_init ()

    void                camel_provider_init                 (void);

Initialize the Camel provider system by reading in the .urls files in the provider directory and creating a hash table mapping URLs to module names.

A .urls file has the same initial prefix as the shared library it correspond to, and consists of a series of lines containing the URL protocols that that library handles.

TODO: This should be pathed? TODO: This should be plugin-d?

### camel_provider_load ()

    gboolean            camel_provider_load                 (const gchar *path,
                                                             GError **error);

Loads the provider at `path`, and calls its initialization function, passing `session` as an argument. The provider should then register itself with `session`.

`path` : | the path to a shared library
`error` : | return location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure

### camel_provider_register ()

    void                camel_provider_register             (CamelProvider *provider);

Registers a provider.

`provider` : | provider object

### camel_provider_list ()

    GList *             camel_provider_list                 (gboolean load);

### camel_provider_get ()

    CamelProvider *     camel_provider_get                  (const gchar *protocol,
                                                             GError **error);

Returns the registered CamelProvider for `protocol`, loading it from disk if necessary. If no CamelProvider can be found for `protocol`, or the provider module fails to load, the function sets `error` and returns `NULL`.

The returned CamelProvider is owned by Camel and should not be modified or freed.

`protocol` : | a CamelProvider protocol name
`error` : | return location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | a CamelProvider for `protocol`, or `NULL`

### camel_provider_module_init ()

    void                camel_provider_module_init          (void);

### camel_provider_auto_detect ()

    gint                camel_provider_auto_detect          (CamelProvider *provider,
                                                             CamelURL *url,
                                                             GHashTable **auto_detected,
                                                             GError **error);

After filling in the standard Username/Hostname/Port/Path settings (which must be set in `url`), if the provider supports it, you may wish to have the provider auto-detect further settings based on the aformentioned settings.

If the provider does not support auto-detection, `auto_detected` will be set to `NULL`. Otherwise the provider will attempt to auto-detect whatever it can and file them into `auto_detected`. If for some reason it cannot auto-detect anything (not enough information provided in `url`?) then `auto_detected` will be set to `NULL` and an exception may be set to explain why it failed.

`provider` : | camel provider
`url` : | a CamelURL
`auto_detected` : | output hash table of auto-detected values
`error` : | return location for a GError, or `NULL`
Returns : | 0 on success or -1 on fail.
