Callback to map references to MDLE modules during serialization.
The name of an MDLE module is the absolute filename of the module. This makes it difficult to move such modules around since that requires adjusting all references. This callback allows to rewrite such references during serialization. The reverse mapping should be implemented in an corresponding instance of mi::neuraylib::IMdle_deserialization_callback.
One possible solution is to choose a filename that is relative to a known reference point that will be moved together with the MDLE file, e.g., the main scene file.

pure virtual |
Returns a serialized filename for the given MDLE filename.
The implemented mapping should be reversible, otherwise you will run into problems implementing the corresponding instance of mi::neuraylib::IMdle_deserialization_callback.
The callback might get involved several times with the same argument. You might want to cache results if the computation is expensive.
| filename | The current filename of an MDLE module. |
".mdle" suffix, it does not need to refer to an existing MDLE file on disk.
