25 * @short_description: Asynchronous message bus subsystem
26 * @see_also: #GstMessage, #GstElement
28 * The #GstBus is an object responsible for delivering #GstMessage packets in
29 * a first-in first-out way from the streaming threads (see #GstTask) to the
32 * Since the application typically only wants to deal with delivery of these
33 * messages from one thread, the GstBus will marshall the messages between
34 * different threads. This is important since the actual streaming of media
35 * is done in another thread than the application.
37 * The GstBus provides support for #GSource based notifications. This makes it
38 * possible to handle the delivery in the glib mainloop.
40 * The #GSource callback function gst_bus_async_signal_func() can be used to
41 * convert all bus messages into signal emissions.
43 * A message is posted on the bus with the gst_bus_post() method. With the
44 * gst_bus_peek() and gst_bus_pop() methods one can look at or retrieve a
45 * previously posted message.
47 * The bus can be polled with the gst_bus_poll() method. This methods blocks
48 * up to the specified timeout value until one of the specified messages types
49 * is posted on the bus. The application can then gst_bus_pop() the messages
50 * from the bus to handle them.
51 * Alternatively the application can register an asynchronous bus function
52 * using gst_bus_add_watch_full() or gst_bus_add_watch(). This function will
53 * install a #GSource in the default glib main loop and will deliver messages
54 * a short while after they have been posted. Note that the main loop should
55 * be running for the asynchronous callbacks.
57 * It is also possible to get messages from the bus without any thread
58 * marshalling with the gst_bus_set_sync_handler() method. This makes it
59 * possible to react to a message in the same thread that posted the
60 * message on the bus. This should only be used if the application is able
61 * to deal with messages from different threads.
63 * Every #GstPipeline has one bus.
65 * Note that a #GstPipeline will set its bus into flushing state when changing
66 * from READY to NULL state.
