Unload the plugin even if it is providing services. This is not recommended. If you unload a plug-in that implements a node or data type in the scene, those instances will be converted to unknown nodes or data and the scene will no longer behave properly. It will, however, still save properly.
-addCallback(-ac) string create
Add a procedure to be called just before a plugin is unloaded. The procedure should have the following signature: global proc procedureName(string $pluginName).
-removeCallback(-rc) string create
Remove a procedure which was previously added with -addCallback.
