Request for help on using BlueZ in C app for a custom GATT server

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to register a custom profile + service(s)
using BlueZ in my C app.

I found some posts mentioning gatt_service_add() and suggesting to
look at gatt-example.c. I checked that file and it seems to be part of
"plugins" with BLUETOOTH_PLUGIN_DEFINE in it.
In "Doing Bluetooth Low Energy on Linux" pdf I read that plugins are
deprecated and I should focus on D-Bus API.
Is that correct? Should I avoid gatt_service_add()?

Looking further I found
https://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/c404.html
This example seems to be using hci_* functions (like hci_get_route()
and hci_inquiry()) from libbluetooth.so. I checked hci_lib.h and found
nothing related to registering profiles/services.
What exactly is libbluetooth? Is that for GATT client purposes only?

Finally I started looking for D-Bus API info.
In "Doing Bluetooth Low Energy on Linux" pdf there is a
RegisterApplication() mentioned. I can see that also in
doc/gatt-api.txt.
Is that the new D-Bus API I read about? Is there some tutorial/example
for it I could use?
