43 * GstBufferListDoFunction:
44 * @buffer: the #GstBuffer
45 * @user_data: user data
47 * A function for accessing the last buffer returned by
48 * gst_buffer_list_iterator_next(). The function can leave @buffer in the list,
49 * replace @buffer in the list or remove @buffer from the list, depending on
50 * the return value. If the function returns NULL, @buffer will be removed from
51 * the list, otherwise @buffer will be replaced with the returned buffer.
53 * The last buffer returned by gst_buffer_list_iterator_next() will be replaced
54 * with the buffer returned from the function. The function takes ownership of
55 * @buffer and if a different value than @buffer is returned, @buffer must be
56 * unreffed. If NULL is returned, the buffer will be removed from the list. The
57 * list must be writable.
59 * Returns: the buffer to replace @buffer in the list, or NULL to remove @buffer
62 typedef GstBuffer* (*GstBufferListDoFunction) (GstBuffer * buffer, gpointer user_data);
66 * @GST_BUFFER_LIST_CONTINUE: Retrieve next buffer
67 * @GST_BUFFER_LIST_SKIP_GROUP: Skip to next group
68 * @GST_BUFFER_LIST_REMOVE: Remove the current buffer
69 * @GST_BUFFER_LIST_END: End iteration
71 * The result of the #GstBufferListFunc.
74 GST_BUFFER_LIST_CONTINUE,
75 GST_BUFFER_LIST_SKIP_GROUP,
81 * @buffer: pointer the buffer
82 * @group: the group index of @buffer
83 * @idx: the index in @group of @buffer
84 * @user_data: user data passed to gst_buffer_list_foreach()
86 * A function that will be called from gst_buffer_list_foreach(). The @buffer
87 * field will point to a the reference of the buffer at @idx in @group.
89 * When this function returns #GST_BUFFER_LIST_CONTINUE, the next buffer will be
90 * returned. When #GST_BUFFER_LIST_SKIP_GROUP is returned, all remaining buffers
91 * in the current group will be skipped and the first buffer of the next group
92 * is returned (if any). When GST_BUFFER_LIST_END is returned,
93 * gst_buffer_list_foreach() will return.
95 * When @buffer is set to NULL, the item will be removed from the bufferlist.
96 * When @buffer has been made writable, the new buffer reference can be assigned
97 * to @buffer. This function is responsible for unreffing the old buffer when
98 * removing or modifying.
100 * Returns: a #GstBufferListItem

113 * gst_buffer_list_ref:

116 * Increases the refcount of the given buffer list by one.
118 * Note that the refcount affects the writeability of @list and its data, see
119 * gst_buffer_list_make_writable(). It is important to note that keeping
120 * additional references to GstBufferList instances can potentially increase
121 * the number of memcpy operations in a pipeline.
