 * @short_description: Lightweight objects to signal the application of
 *                     pipeline events
 * @see_also: #GstBus, #GstMiniObject, #GstElement
 *
 * Messages are implemented as a subclass of #GstMiniObject with a generic
 * #GstStructure as the content. This allows for writing custom messages without
 * requiring an API change while allowing a wide range of different types
 * of messages.
 *
 * Messages are posted by objects in the pipeline and are passed to the
 * application using the #GstBus.
 *
 * The basic use pattern of posting a message on a #GstBus is as follows:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 *   gst_bus_post (bus, gst_message_new_eos());
 * ]|
 *
 * A #GstElement usually posts messages on the bus provided by the parent
 * container using gst_element_post_message().

 * @tag_list: (transfer full) (allow-none): tag list for the new entry
 * @entry_struct: (transfer full) (allow-none): structure for the new entry
 *
 * Creates a new redirect message and adds a new entry to it. Redirect messages
 * are posted when an element detects that the actual data has to be retrieved
 * from a different location. This is useful if such a redirection cannot be
 * handled inside a source element, for example when HTTP 302/303 redirects
 * return a non-HTTP URL.
 *
 * The redirect message can hold multiple entries. The first one is added
 * when the redirect message is created, with the given location, tag_list,
 * entry_struct arguments. Use gst_message_add_redirect_entry() to add more
 * entries.
 *
 * Each entry has a location, a tag list, and a structure. All of these are
 * optional. The tag list and structure are useful for additional metadata,
 * such as bitrate statistics for the given location.
 *
 * By default, message recipients should treat entries in the order they are
 * stored. The recipient should therefore try entry #0 first, and if this
 * entry is not acceptable or working, try entry #1 etc. Senders must make
 * sure that they add entries in this order. However, recipients are free to
 * ignore the order and pick an entry that is "best" for them. One example
 * would be a recipient that scans the entries for the one with the highest
 * bitrate tag.
 *
 * The specified location string is copied. However, ownership over the tag
 * list and structure are transferred to the message.
