The backend of Anyrun, loads Anyrun plugins and is used as the middleman between launchers and the plugins.

For integrating this into other applications, you can use the anyrun-provider-ipc crate available in this repo. It contains a simple socket implementation, and the reference for the data types used in the communication. The communication socket can either be managed by your program, or anyrun-provider, depending on the command line arguments provided.

For a reference implementation of how this is used, refer to provider.rs.
