``PrefixData`` loaders
======================

The ``PrefixData`` class exposes the contents of a given conda environment
(prefix) as a series of ``PrefixRecord`` objects. This plugin hook allows
users to write logic to expose non-conda packages as conda-like metadata.
This can be useful to allow ``conda list`` to report additional ecosystems,
like PyPI or others.
