While there are conceptions such as translation time and translation blocks the details are opaque to plugins. The plugin is able to query select details of instructions and system configuration only through the -exported *qemu_plugin* functions.

The handles themselves are only +valid during the lifetime of the callback so it is important that any +information that is needed is extracted during the callback and saved +by the plugin.
