/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Data memory
*
* <h2>Information about data memory. </h2>
* This structure may grow in the future, indicated by the
* <code>size</code> field.
*
* <p>The platform data property fields help determine if a data
* file can be efficiently used on a given machine.
* The particular fields are of importance only if the data
* is affected by the properties - if there is integer data
* with word sizes > 1 byte, char* text, or UChar* text.</p>
*
* <p>The implementation for the <code>udata_open[Choice]()</code>
* functions may reject data based on the value in <code>isBigEndian</code>.
* No other field is used by the <code>udata</code> API implementation.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>dataFormat</code> may be used to identify
* the kind of data, e.g. a converter table.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>formatVersion</code> field should be used to
* make sure that the format can be interpreted.
* I may be a good idea to check only for the one or two highest
* of the version elements to allow the data memory to
* get more or somewhat rearranged contents, for as long
* as the using code can still interpret the older contents.</p>
*
* <p>The <code>dataVersion</code> field is intended to be a
* common place to store the source version of the data;
* for data from the Unicode character database, this could
* reflect the Unicode version.</p>

* Data loading function.
* This function is used to find and load efficiently data for
* ICU and applications using ICU.
* It provides an abstract interface that allows to specify a data
* type and name to find and load the data.
*
* <p>The implementation depends on platform properties and user preferences
* and may involve loading shared libraries (DLLs), mapping
* files into memory, or fopen()/fread() files.
* It may also involve using static memory or database queries etc.
* Several or all data items may be combined into one entity
* (DLL, memory-mappable file).</p>
*
* <p>The data is always preceded by a header that includes
* a <code>UDataInfo</code> structure.
* The caller's <code>isAcceptable()</code> function is called to make
* sure that the data is useful. It may be called several times if it
* rejects the data and there is more than one location with data
* matching the type and name.</p>
*
* <p>If <code>path==NULL</code>, then ICU data is loaded.
* Otherwise, it is separated into a basename and a basename-less path string.
* If the path string is empty, then <code>u_getDataDirectory()</code>
* is set in its place.
* When data is loaded from files or DLLs (shared libraries) and
* may be stored in common files, then the data finding is roughly as follows:
* <ul>
* <li>common file at path/basename has entry name_type?</li>
* <li>common file at basename has entry name_type?</li>
* <li>separate file at path/basename_name_type?</li>
* <li>separate file at basename_name_type?</li>
* <li>separate file at path/name_type?</li>
* <li>separate file at name_type?</li>
* </ul>
* If the basename is empty, then only the last two options are attempted.
* Otherwise, it serves as a name for a common data file or as a basename
* (collection name) prefix for individual files.</p>
*
* @param path Specifies an absolute path and/or a basename for the
* finding of the data in the file system.
* <code>NULL</code> for ICU data.
* @param type A string that specifies the type of data to be loaded.
* For example, resource bundles are loaded with type "res",
* conversion tables with type "cnv".
* This may be <code>NULL</code> or empty.
* @param name A string that specifies the name of the data.
* @param isAcceptable This function is called to verify that loaded data
* is useful for the client code. If it returns FALSE
* for all data items, then <code>udata_openChoice()</code>
* will return with an error.
* @param context Arbitrary parameter to be passed into isAcceptable.
* @param pErrorCode An ICU UErrorCode parameter. It must not be <code>NULL</code>.
* @return A pointer (handle) to a data memory object, or <code>NULL</code>
* if an error occurs. Call <code>udata_getMemory()</code>
* to get a pointer to the actual data.

/**
* This function bypasses the normal ICU data loading process
* and allows you to force the data to come out of a user-specified
* pointer.
*
* The format of this data is that of the icu common data file, 'icudata.dat'
* or that of a DLL (shared library) with a table of contents as generated
* by "gencmn -s".
* You can read in that whole file and pass the address to the start of the
* data, or (with the appropriate link options) pass in the pointer to
* a 'genccode'-generated library, or pass the pointer to the entry point
* of the table of contents file that gencmn -s generated, as follows:
*
* extern const uint8_t U_IMPORT icudata_dat[];
*
* UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* udata_setCommonData((const void*)icudata_dat, &status);
*
* ( link with icudata.dll / libicudata.so/a/sl .. see the release notes
* for how to build the 'common mapped dll'. )
*
* This function will automatically skip over the 'double' padding
* present in genccode symbols, if present.
*
* Warning: ICU must NOT have even attempted to load its data yet
* when this call is made, or U_USING_DEFAULT_ERROR [non-failing] will
* be returned. Be careful of UnicodeStrings in static initialization which
* may attempt to load a converter (use the UNICODE_STRING(x) macro instead).
*
* This function has no effect on application (non ICU) data, and will
* return U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR if mapped data support is not available on
* the currently compiled ICU.
*
* @draft
* @param data pointer to ICU common data
* @param err outgoing error status <code>U_USING_DEFAULT_ERROR, U_UNSUPPORTED_ERROR</code>
