This structure may grow in the future, indicated by the
* size field.
ICU data must be at least 8-aligned, and should be 16-aligned. * The UDataInfo struct begins 4 bytes after the start of the data item, * so it is 4-aligned. * *
The platform data property fields help determine if a data * file can be efficiently used on a given machine. * The particular fields are of importance only if the data * is affected by the properties - if there is integer data * with word sizes > 1 byte, char* text, or UChar* text.
* *The implementation for the udata_open[Choice]()
* functions may reject data based on the value in isBigEndian.
* No other field is used by the udata API implementation.
The dataFormat may be used to identify
* the kind of data, e.g. a converter table.
The formatVersion field should be used to
* make sure that the format can be interpreted.
* It may be a good idea to check only for the one or two highest
* of the version elements to allow the data memory to
* get more or somewhat rearranged contents, for as long
* as the using code can still interpret the older contents.
The dataVersion field is intended to be a
* common place to store the source version of the data;
* for data from the Unicode character database, this could
* reflect the Unicode version.

/**
* Data loading function.
* This function is used to find and load efficiently data for
* ICU and applications using ICU.
* It provides an abstract interface that allows to specify a data
* type and name to find and load the data.
*
* The implementation depends on platform properties and user preferences * and may involve loading shared libraries (DLLs), mapping * files into memory, or fopen()/fread() files. * It may also involve using static memory or database queries etc. * Several or all data items may be combined into one entity * (DLL, memory-mappable file).
* *The data is always preceded by a header that includes
* a UDataInfo structure.
* The caller's isAcceptable() function is called to make
* sure that the data is useful. It may be called several times if it
* rejects the data and there is more than one location with data
* matching the type and name.
If path==NULL, then ICU data is loaded.
* Otherwise, it is separated into a basename and a basename-less directory string.
* The basename is used as the data package name, and the directory is
* logically prepended to the ICU data directory string.
For details about ICU data loading see the User Guide * Data Management chapter. (https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu_data/)
* * @param path Specifies an absolute path and/or a basename for the * finding of the data in the file system. *NULL for ICU data.

* conversion tables with type "cnv".
* This may be NULL or empty.
* @param name A string that specifies the name of the data.
* @param isAcceptable This function is called to verify that loaded data
* is useful for the client code. If it returns false
* for all data items, then udata_openChoice()
* will return with an error.
* @param context Arbitrary parameter to be passed into isAcceptable.
* @param pErrorCode An ICU UErrorCode parameter. It must not be NULL.
