9 The event classes are used to construct and query events.
13 Events are usually created with gst_event_new() which takes the event type as an argument.
14 properties specific to the event can be set afterwards with the provided macros.
15 The event is freed with gst_event_free().
18 gst_event_new_seek() is a usually used to create a seek event and it takes the
19 needed parameters for a seek event.
22 gst_event_new_flush() creates a new flush event.
25 <!-- ##### SECTION See_Also ##### -->
30 <!-- ##### ENUM GstEventType ##### -->
32 The different major types of events.
35 @GST_EVENT_UNKNOWN: unknown event.
36 @GST_EVENT_EOS: an end-of-stream event.
37 @GST_EVENT_FLUSH: a flush event.
38 @GST_EVENT_EMPTY: an empty event.
39 @GST_EVENT_SEEK: a seek event.
40 @GST_EVENT_DISCONTINUOUS: a discontinuous event to indicate the stream has a discontinuity.
42 <!-- ##### MACRO GST_EVENT_TYPE ##### -->
47 @event: The event to query.
50 <!-- ##### MACRO GST_EVENT_TIMESTAMP ##### -->
52 Get the timestamp of the event.
55 @event: The event to query.
58 <!-- ##### ENUM GstSeekType ##### -->
60 The different types of seek events.
63 @GST_SEEK_ANY: the seek is performed anyway.
64 @GST_SEEK_TIMEOFFSET: this is a seek to specific timeoffset

69 Get the seektype of the GST_EVENT_SEEK.
72 @event: The event to query.
75 <!-- ##### MACRO GST_EVENT_SEEK_OFFSET ##### -->
77 Get the offset of the seek event.
80 @event: The event to query.
83 <!-- ##### MACRO GST_EVENT_SEEK_FLUSH ##### -->

88 @event: The event to query.
91 <!-- ##### STRUCT GstEvent ##### -->
93 The event data structure.
96 @data: The parent data type.
97 @type: The event type.
98 @timestamp: The event timestamp.
