"""Interface for plist parser plugins.

Plist files are only one example of a type of object that the Plaso tool is
expected to encounter and process. There can be and are many other parsers which
are designed to process specific data types.

PlistPlugin defines the attributes necessary for registration, discovery and
operation of plugins for plist files which will be used by PlistParser.
