Catalogue snapshot — development preview

SDK 2.3.0 · game pack 0.6.0 · source e616ed69d8f9f77b0f4827881c86d91e4a7d1689 Published release: sdk-v2.3.0 (immutable approved assets; this development preview is not an approved release). Source-backed inventory is not a runtime or in-game verification claim.

A new patch owned by self. flags: 0 or SCO_DC_NON_ATOMIC. SCO_BAD_ARG: a bad self or flags. SCO_TOO_MANY: SCO_DC_MAX_PATCHES of this plugin’s patches are open or queued for the load. Implementation initializes out_patch to 0 on failure.

Limitations / unestablished guarantees

• Internal allocation/failure guarantee unspecified.
• Recursive/concurrent same-patch reentrancy unspecified.
• Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.

Parameters and buffers

sco_result (*begin)(sco_plugin* self, uint32_t flags, uint64_t* out_patch);
A new patch owned by self. flags: 0 or SCO_DC_NON_ATOMIC. SCO_BAD_ARG: a bad self or flags. SCO_TOO_MANY: SCO_DC_MAX_PATCHES of this plugin’s patches are open or queued for the load. Implementation initializes out_patch to 0 on failure.

Results and failures

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND; stopped operations: UNAVAILABLE. Unknown/released patch: NOT_FOUND; closed patch: BAD_ARG; operation cap: TOO_MANY. Additional failures/output state unspecified unless described in the buffer contract.

Absent capability

Absent table: query_service NOT_FOUND

Ownership

Strings/values copied; host owns patches and instances; IDs, not allocations, cross the ABI. Internal allocation/failure guarantee unspecified.

Thread affinity

Any thread; short locks, no wait for game load. Recursive/concurrent same-patch reentrancy unspecified.

Callback context

unspecified

Reentrancy

unspecified

Cleanup and cancellation

No in-flight cancellation; discard drops open/queued patch, not applied or saved effects. Unload forgets owned patches.

Language mappings

Status labels are copied verbatim from the catalogue: direct is native access; typed-wrapper is wrapper-backed; restricted is a subset/adaptation; unsupported means no supported route is established. No status implies universal safety.

Language	Catalogue status	Source evidence / wrapper tokens
c	direct	include/sco_datacore.h (*begin)
cpp	typed-wrapper	include/scosdk/datacore.hpp const sco_result r = ref_->begin(self_, flags, &id);
csharp	typed-wrapper	sdk/csharp/Sco.Sdk/DataCore.cs ScoResult r = _t->begin(_plugin.SelfPtr, flags, &id);
lua	typed-wrapper	plugins/lua/sco_lua_game.c const sco_result r = dc->begin(self, flags, &id);
