25 * @short_description: Media library supporting arbitrary formats and filter
28 * GStreamer is a framework for constructing graphs of various filters
29 * (termed elements here) that will handle streaming media. Any discreet
30 * (packetizable) media type is supported, with provisions for automatically
31 * determining source type. Formatting/framing information is provided with
32 * a powerful negotiation framework. Plugins are heavily used to provide for
33 * all elements, allowing one to construct plugins outside of the GST
34 * library, even released binary-only if license require (please don't).
35 * GStreamer covers a wide range of use cases including: playback, recording,
36 * editing, serving streams, voice over ip and video calls.
38 * The <application>GStreamer</application> library should be initialized with
39 * gst_init() before it can be used. You should pass pointers to the main argc
40 * and argv variables so that GStreamer can process its own command line
41 * options, as shown in the following example.
44 * <title>Initializing the gstreamer library</title>
45 * <programlisting language="c">
47 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
49 * // initialize the GStreamer library
50 * 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 * <title>Initializing own parameters when initializing gstreamer</title>
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 * // must initialise the threading system before using any other GLib funtion
75 * if (!g_thread_supported ())
76 * g_thread_init (NULL);
77 * ctx = g_option_context_new ("[ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS]");
78 * g_option_context_add_main_entries (ctx, options, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
79 * g_option_context_add_group (ctx, gst_init_get_option_group ());
80 * if (!g_option_context_parse (ctx, &argc, &argv, &err)) {
81 * g_print ("Error initializing: %s\n", GST_STR_NULL (err->message));
84 * g_option_context_free (ctx);
90 * Use gst_version() to query the library version at runtime or use the
91 * GST_VERSION_* macros to find the version at compile time. Optionally
92 * gst_version_string() returns a printable string.
94 * The gst_deinit() call is used to clean up all internal resources used
95 * by <application>GStreamer</application>. It is mostly used in unit tests
