   Bases: :py:obj:`dissect.target.plugin.Plugin`

   Base class for plugins.

   Plugins can optionally be namespaced by specifying the ``__namespace__``
   class attribute. Namespacing results in your plugin needing to be prefixed
   with this namespace when being called. For example, if your plugin has
   specified ``test`` as namespace and a function called ``example``, you must
   call your plugin with ``test.example``::

   A ``Plugin`` class has the following private class attributes:

   - ``__namespace__``
   - ``__record_descriptors__``

   With the following three being assigned in :func:`register`:

   - ``__plugin__``
   - ``__functions__``
   - ``__exports__``

   Additionally, the methods and attributes of :class:`Plugin` receive more private attributes
   by using decorators.

   The :func:`export` decorator adds the following private attributes

   - ``__exported__``
   - ``__output__``: Set with the :func:`export` decorator.
   - ``__record__``: Set with the :func:`export` decorator.

   The :func:`internal` decorator and :class:`InternalPlugin` set the ``__internal__`` attribute.
   Finally. :func:`args` decorator sets the ``__args__`` attribute.

   :param target: The :class:`~dissect.target.target.Target` object to load the plugin for.

   .. py:method:: check_compatible() -> None

      Perform a compatibility check with the target.

      This function should return ``None`` if the plugin is compatible with
      the current target (``self.target``). For example, check if a certain
      file exists.
      Otherwise it should raise an ``UnsupportedPluginError``.

      :raises UnsupportedPluginError: If the plugin could not be loaded.


   .. py:method:: processes() -> Iterator[ProcProcessRecord]

      Return the processes available in ``/proc`` and the stats associated with them.

      There is a numerical subdirectory for each running process; the subdirectory is named by the process ID.
      Each ``/proc/[pid]`` subdirectory contains various pseudo-files.

      Yields ProcProcessRecord with the following fields:
          hostname (string): The target hostname.
          domain (string): The target domain.
          ts (datetime): The start time of the process.
          name (string): The name of the process.
          state (string): The state of the process.
          pid (int): The process ID of the process.
          runtime (datetime): The amount of time the process is running until moment of acquisition.
          ppid (int): The parent process ID of the process.
          parent (string): The name of the parent process ID.
