23 * SECTION:gstbufferpool
24 * @short_description: Pool for buffers
25 * @see_also: #GstBuffer
27 * A #GstBufferPool is an object that can be used to pre-allocate and recycle
28 * buffers of the same size and with the same properties.
30 * A #GstBufferPool is created with gst_buffer_pool_new().
32 * Once a pool is created, it needs to be configured. A call to
33 * gst_buffer_pool_get_config() returns the current configuration structure from
34 * the pool. With gst_buffer_pool_config_set_params() and
35 * gst_buffer_pool_config_set_allocator() the bufferpool parameters and
36 * allocator can be configured. Other properties can be configured in the pool
37 * depending on the pool implementation.
39 * A bufferpool can have extra options that can be enabled with
40 * gst_buffer_pool_config_add_option(). The available options can be retrieved
41 * with gst_buffer_pool_get_options(). Some options allow for additional
42 * configuration properties to be set.
44 * After the configuration structure has been configured,
45 * gst_buffer_pool_set_config() updates the configuration in the pool. This can
46 * fail when the configuration structure is not accepted.
48 * After the a pool has been configured, it can be activated with
49 * gst_buffer_pool_set_active(). This will preallocate the configured resources
52 * When the pool is active, gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() can be used to
53 * retrieve a buffer from the pool.
55 * Buffers allocated from a bufferpool will automatically be returned to the
56 * pool with gst_buffer_pool_release_buffer() when their refcount drops to 0.
58 * The bufferpool can be deactivated again with gst_buffer_pool_set_active().
59 * All further gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() calls will return an error. When
60 * all buffers are returned to the pool they will be freed.
62 * Use gst_object_unref() to release the reference to a bufferpool. If the
63 * refcount of the pool reaches 0, the pool will be freed.
