class QgsProviderMetadata
{
%Docstring
 Holds data provider key, description, and associated shared library file or function pointer information.

 Provider metadata refers either to providers which are loaded via libraries or
 which are native providers that are included in the core QGIS installation
 and accessed through function pointers.

 For library based providers, the metadata class is used in a lazy load
 implementation in QgsProviderRegistry.  To save memory, data providers
 are only actually loaded via QLibrary calls if they're to be used.  (Though they're all
 iteratively loaded once to get their metadata information, and then
 unloaded when the QgsProviderRegistry is created.)  QgsProviderMetadata
 supplies enough information to be able to later load the associated shared
 library object.

 This returns the unique key associated with the provider

This key string is used for the associative container in QgsProviderRegistry

%Docstring
 This returns descriptive text for the provider

This is used to provide a descriptive list of available data providers.

 This returns the library file name

This is used to QLibrary calls to load the data provider.
