24 * @short_description: refcounted wrapper for memory blocks
25 * @see_also: #GstBuffer
27 * GstMemory is a lightweight refcounted object that wraps a region of memory.
28 * They are typically used to manage the data of a #GstBuffer.
30 * A GstMemory object has an allocated region of memory of maxsize. The maximum
31 * size does not change during the lifetime of the memory object. The memory
32 * also has an offset and size property that specifies the valid range of memory
33 * in the allocated region.
35 * Memory is usually created by allocators with a gst_allocator_alloc()
36 * method call. When NULL is used as the allocator, the default allocator will
39 * New allocators can be registered with gst_allocator_register().
40 * Allocators are identified by name and can be retrieved with
41 * gst_allocator_find(). gst_allocator_set_default() can be used to change the
44 * New memory can be created with gst_memory_new_wrapped() that wraps the memory
45 * allocated elsewhere.
47 * Refcounting of the memory block is performed with gst_memory_ref() and
50 * The size of the memory can be retrieved and changed with
51 * gst_memory_get_sizes() and gst_memory_resize() respectively.
53 * Getting access to the data of the memory is performed with gst_memory_map().
54 * The call will return a pointer to offset bytes into the region of memory.
55 * After the memory access is completed, gst_memory_unmap() should be called.
57 * Memory can be copied with gst_memory_copy(), which will return a writable
58 * copy. gst_memory_share() will create a new memory block that shares the
59 * memory with an existing memory block at a custom offset and with a custom
62 * Memory can be efficiently merged when gst_memory_is_span() returns TRUE.
