"""
Backend management.


Creating new backends
---------------------

A new backend named 'foo-bar' corresponds to Python module
'tracetool/backend/foo_bar.py'.

A backend module should provide a docstring, whose first non-empty line will be
considered its short description.

All backends must generate their contents through the 'tracetool.out' routine.


Backend attributes
------------------

========= ====================================================================
Attribute Description
========= ====================================================================
PUBLIC    If exists and is set to 'True', the backend is considered "public".
========= ====================================================================


Backend functions
-----------------

All the following functions are optional, and no output will be generated if
they do not exist.

=============================== ==============================================
Function                        Description
=============================== ==============================================
generate_<format>_begin(events) Generate backend- and format-specific file
                                header contents.
generate_<format>_end(events)   Generate backend- and format-specific file
                                footer contents.
generate_<format>(event)        Generate backend- and format-specific contents
                                for the given event.
