26 * @short_description: Media library supporting arbitrary formats and filter
29 * GStreamer is a framework for constructing graphs of various filters
30 * (termed elements here) that will handle streaming media. Any discrete
31 * (packetizable) media type is supported, with provisions for automatically
32 * determining source type. Formatting/framing information is provided with
33 * a powerful negotiation framework. Plugins are heavily used to provide for
34 * all elements, allowing one to construct plugins outside of the GST
35 * library, even released binary-only if license require (please don't).
36 * GStreamer covers a wide range of use cases including: playback, recording,
37 * editing, serving streams, voice over ip and video calls.
39 * The <application>GStreamer</application> library should be initialized with
40 * gst_init() before it can be used. You should pass pointers to the main argc
41 * and argv variables so that GStreamer can process its own command line
42 * options, as shown in the following example.
44 * ## Initializing the gstreamer library
46 * |[ <!-- language="C" -->
48 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
50 * // initialize the GStreamer library
51 * gst_init (&argc, &argv);
56 * It's allowed to pass two %NULL pointers to gst_init() in case you don't want
57 * to pass the command line args to GStreamer.
59 * You can also use GOption to initialize your own parameters as shown in
60 * the next code fragment:
62 * ## Initializing own parameters when initializing gstreamer
63 * |[ <!-- language="C" -->
64 * static gboolean stats = FALSE;
67 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
69 * GOptionEntry options[] = {
70 * {"tags", 't', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &tags,
71 * N_("Output tags (also known as metadata)"), NULL},
74 * ctx = g_option_context_new ("[ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS]");
75 * g_option_context_add_main_entries (ctx, options, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
76 * g_option_context_add_group (ctx, gst_init_get_option_group ());
77 * if (!g_option_context_parse (ctx, &argc, &argv, &err)) {
78 * g_print ("Error initializing: %s\n", GST_STR_NULL (err->message));
81 * g_option_context_free (ctx);
86 * Use gst_version() to query the library version at runtime or use the
87 * GST_VERSION_* macros to find the version at compile time. Optionally
88 * gst_version_string() returns a printable string.
90 * The gst_deinit() call is used to clean up all internal resources used
91 * by GStreamer. It is mostly used in unit tests to check for leaks.

1256 * gst_segtrap_is_enabled:
1258 * Some functions in the GStreamer core might install a custom SIGSEGV handler
1259 * to better catch and report errors to the application. Currently this feature

1263 * gst_segtrap_set_enabled() function. This is typically done if the application
1264 * wants to install its own handler without GStreamer interfering.
