## # depends:

Lists other plugins or language/system libraries which the current plugin requires:

    # depends: corefuncs, json_io, bin:bash

Typically it just lists other plugin basenames. To indicate which must be available/active alongside.

Each entry is a plugin [basename](wiki/id), and indicates it must be available/active alongside.
  * It's a list of local URNs.

  * The recommended field name is "depends" and not "require" - for compatibility with the Debian packaging spec, and because it sounds less stringent.
  * The recommended field name is "depends" and not "require" - for parity with the Debian packaging spec, and because it sounds less stringent.

  * Not every application would want to enforce this *strictly*. Because dynamic languages can soft-detect dependencies usually.

  * Within a plugin management UI, the depends: list could be used for installation warnings.
