Detailed Description

       This API is intended to ease integration of configurable callouts into the Globus Toolkit and to provide
       a platform independent way of dealing with runtime loadable functions. It (hopefully) achieves this goal
       by providing the following functionality:

       • It provides a function for reading callout configuration files. Files are assumed to have the following
         format:

         • Anything after a # is assumed to be a comment

         • Blanks lines are ignored

         • Lines specifying callouts have the format

             abstract type           library         symbol

        where abstract type denotes the type of callout, e.g. globus_gram_jobmanager_authz, library denotes the
       library the callout can be found in and symbol denotes the function name of the callout.

       • It provides a API function for registering callouts

       • All callouts are assumed to have the function signature globus_result_t callout_func(va_list ap)

       • It provides a function for calling a callout given an abstract type. If multiple callouts are defined
         for the same abstract type then all callouts for the abstract type will be called. Implementers should
         not rely on any correlation between the order of configuration and the order of invocation of callouts
         of the same abstract type.

       Any program that uses Globus Callout functions must include the globus_callout.h header
