3 An archive library is loaded by dynamically loading a shared library with the
4 <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-ARCHIVE-LIBRARY">archive_library</a>'s name as the library base name. The
5 normal library search path is used to locate the library. To provide the
6 required archive module callbacks and to indicate that the library is
7 actually an archive module, it needs to provide a function named
8 <code class="function">_PG_archive_module_init</code>. The result of the function
9 must be a pointer to a struct of type
10 <code class="structname">ArchiveModuleCallbacks</code>, which contains everything
11 that the core code needs to know to make use of the archive module. The
12 return value needs to be of server lifetime, which is typically achieved by
13 defining it as a <code class="literal">static const</code> variable in global scope.
