sco_api.provide_service
Any thread. Publishes vtable under name (“<plugin id>” or “<plugin id>.<name>”, [a-z0-9_.], 1-63 chars) with version (major << 16) | minor. SCO_BAD_ARG: a bad or taken name, or a name outside this plugin’s id. Withdrawn when this plugin unloads or crashes, or by release_service. Start the table with a uint32_t size so it can grow.

Results and failures
Section titled “Results and failures”BAD_ARG invalid/released self, NULL table, invalid/taken/out-of-prefix name; TOO_MANY allocation. No capability gate.
Absent capability
Section titled “Absent capability”unspecified
Ownership
Section titled “Ownership”Host copies name/version, borrows table contents/code until withdrawal or unload; provider retains state ownership. Registry allocation may fail.
Thread affinity
Section titled “Thread affinity”Any thread; reentrancy unspecified.
Callback context
Section titled “Callback context”unspecified
Reentrancy
Section titled “Reentrancy”unspecified
Cleanup and cancellation
