// dagMessageCmd.cpp
//
// Description:
// Sample plug-in that demonstrates how to register/de-register
// a callback with the MDagMessage class.
//
// This plug-in will register a new command in maya called
// "dagMessage" which adds a callback for the all nodes on
// the active selection list. A message is printed to stdout
// whenever a connection is made or broken for those nodes. If
// nothing is selected, the callback will be for all nodes.
//
// dagMessage -help will list the options.
