+     * \brief Creates a vsomeip application object.
+     *
+     * An application object manages service offers and requests as well as
+     * event subscriptions. It allows to register user application functions
+     * as callbacks that are called on specific events during runtime, e.g
+     * to react on incoming SOME/IP messages.
+     * An application object is identified by a unique name that is also used
+     * in (and therefore has to match) the configuration files of vsomeip. If
+     * the name is left empty, the application name is taken from the
+     * environment variable "VSOMEIP_APPLICATION_NAME"
+     *
+     * \param _name Name of the application on the system.
+     * \param _path Path to the configuration file or folder.
