24 * @short_description: Lightweight objects to signal the application of
26 * @see_also: #GstBus, #GstMiniObject, #GstElement
28 * Messages are implemented as a subclass of #GstMiniObject with a generic
29 * #GstStructure as the content. This allows for writing custom messages without
30 * requiring an API change while allowing a wide range of different types
33 * Messages are posted by objects in the pipeline and are passed to the
34 * application using the #GstBus.
36 * The basic use pattern of posting a message on a #GstBus is as follows:
39 * <title>Posting a #GstMessage</title>
41 * gst_bus_post (bus, gst_message_new_eos());
45 * A #GstElement usually posts messages on the bus provided by the parent
46 * container using gst_element_post_message().
