Only one of the two alternate creator entries can be used at a time and
which of those is determined by the style of plugin. The "creator.v1"
element is for factory functions of supported styles computing forces
(i.e. pair, bond, angle, dihedral, or improper styles) or command styles
and the function takes as single argument the pointer to the LAMMPS
instance. The factory function is cast to the ``lammpsplugin_factory1``
type before assignment. The "creator.v2" element is for factory
functions creating an instance of a fix, compute, or region style and
takes three arguments: a pointer to the LAMMPS instance, an integer with
the length of the argument list and a ``char **`` pointer to the list of
arguments. The factory function pointer needs to be cast to the
``lammpsplugin_factory2`` type before assignment.

.. versionchanged:: 12Jun2025
When using the :doc:`clear <clear>` command, plugins are not unloaded
but restored to their respective style maps. This also applies when
multiple LAMMPS instances are created and deleted through the library
interface. The :doc:`plugin load <plugin>` load command may be issued
again, but for existing plugins they will be skipped. To replace
plugins they must be explicitly unloaded with :doc:`plugin unload
<plugin>`. When multiple LAMMPS instances are created concurrently, any
loaded plugins will be added to the global list of plugins, but are not
immediately available to any LAMMPS instance that was created before
loading the plugin. To "import" such plugins, the :doc:`plugin restore
<plugin>` may be used. Plugins are only removed when they are explicitly
unloaded or the LAMMPS interface is "finalized".

.. admonition:: Plugins are a global, per-executable property
:class: Hint
Unlike most settings in LAMMPS, plugins are a per-executable global
property. Loading a plugin means that it is not only available for
the current LAMMPS instance but for all *future* LAMMPS instances.
After a :doc:`clear <clear>` command, all currently loaded plugins
will be restored and do not need to be loaded again.
When using the library interface or the Python or Fortran module
to create multiple concurrent LAMMPS instances, all plugins should
be loaded by the first created LAMMPS instance as all future instances
will inherit them. To import plugins that were loaded by a different
LAMMPS instance, use the *restore* command.
The *load* command will load and initialize all plugins contained in the
plugin DSO with the given filename. A message with information the
plugin style and name and more will be printed. Individual DSO files
may contain multiple plugins. More details about how to write and
plugin DSO with the given filename. A message with information about
the plugin style and name and more will be printed. Individual DSO
files may contain multiple plugins. If a plugin is already loaded
it will be skipped. More details about how to write and
compile the plugin DSO is given in programmer's guide part of the manual
under :doc:`Developer_plugins`.
The *unload* command will remove the given style or the given name from
the list of available styles. If the plugin style is currently in use,
that style instance will be deleted.
that style instance will be deleted and replaced by the default setting
for that style.
The *list* command will print a list of the loaded plugins and their
styles and names.
The *clear* command will unload all currently loaded plugins.

The *restore* command will restore all currently loaded plugins.
