def data_center_conf(context, path):
    """Handler for ZCML ``datacenter`` directive.

    Registers a global utility under IDataCenterConfig and containing
    a dictionary with (currently) only one entry: `path`.

    The directive can be put into site.zcml like this:

    - Add to the header:
        ``xmlns:kofa="http://namespaces.waeup.org/kofa"``

    - Then, after including waeup.kofa:
        ``<kofa:datacenter path="some/existing/file/path" />``

    In a running instance (where some directive like above was
    processed during startup), one can then ask for the
    IDataCenterConfig utility:

      >>> from waeup.kofa.interfaces import IDataCenterConfig
      >>> from zope.component import getUtility
      >>> getUtility(IDataCenterConfig)
      {'path': 'some/existing/file/path'}

    """

        discriminator = ('utility', IDataCenterConfig, ''),

        args = ('registerUtility',
                {'path':path}, IDataCenterConfig, '')
        )
