/**
 * Plugin Load Checker Helper
 *
 * This program accepts the name of a descriptor function as its only
 * command-line argument. It then reads a list of plugin library paths
 * from stdin, one per line. For each path read, it attempts to load
 * that library and retrieve the named descriptor function, printing a
 * line to stdout reporting whether this was successful or not and
 * then flushing stdout. The output line format is described
 * below. The program exits with code 0 if all libraries were loaded
 * successfully and non-zero otherwise.
 *
 * Note that library paths must be ready to pass to dlopen() or
 * equivalent; this usually means they should be absolute paths.
 *
 * Output line for successful load of library libname.so:
 * SUCCESS|/path/to/libname.so|
 * 
 * Output line for failed load of library libname.so:
 * FAILURE|/path/to/libname.so|Reason for failure if available
 *
 * Sometimes plugins will crash completely on load, bringing down this
 * program with them. If the program exits before all listed plugins
 * have been checked, this means that the plugin following the last
 * reported one has crashed. Typically the caller may want to run it
 * again, omitting that plugin.
