  \class QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory
  \inmodule QtLocation
  \ingroup QtLocation-impl
  \since QtLocation 5.0

  \brief The QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory class is a factory class used
  as the plugin interface for external providers of positioning data.

  Implementers must provide a unique combination of sourceName() and
  sourceVersion() per plugin.

  The other functions must be overridden by all plugins, other than
  sourcePriority() which defaults to returning 0. Higher values of
  priority will be preferred to lower ones.

  \section1 Default plugins

  Normally, the platform default position source will always overrule any
  plugin-based position source during a call to createDefaultSource().
  However, a limited measure is available where needed to change this behaviour,
  using a system-wide configuration file.

  The configuration file is in the system's default QSettings format, under
  \c Nokia/QtLocationPosAndSat (for example, on most Linux variants this is
  \c /etc/xdg/Nokia/QtLocationPosAndSat.conf). To set a default plugin source,
  set the value \c position.plugin.operator.whitelist to a string of the format
  \c "name,filename,hash,size" where \a name is the same as returned by the
  plugin's \c sourceName() function, \a size is the size of the shared library
  and \a hash is the library's SHA1 hash in hex format.
  */

/*!
  \fn QGeoPositionInfoSource *QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory::positionInfoSource(QObject *parent)

  Returns a new QGeoPositionInfoSource associated with this plugin
  with parent \a parent . Can also return 0, in which case the factory
  with the next highest priority will be used instead.
  */

/*!
  \fn QGeoSatelliteInfoSource *QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory::satelliteInfoSource(QObject *parent)

  Returns a new QGeoSatelliteInfoSource associated with this plugin
  with parent \a parent. Can also return 0, in which case the factory
  with the next highest priority will be used instead.
  */

/*!
  \fn QString QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory::sourceName() const

  Returns the string used to identify the position provider behind this
  implementation.

  The combination of sourceName() and sourceVersion() should be unique
  amongst the plugins.
  */

/*!
  \fn int QGeoPositionInfoSourceFactory::sourceVersion() const

  Returns the version of the plugin.

  The combination of sourceName() and sourceVersion() should be unique
  amongst the plugins.
