26 * @short_description: Abstract base class for management of #GstPlugin objects
27 * @see_also: #GstPlugin, #GstPluginFeature
29 * One registry holds the metadata of a set of plugins.
31 * <emphasis role="bold">Design:</emphasis>
33 * The #GstRegistry object is a list of plugins and some functions for dealing
34 * with them. Each #GstPlugin is matched 1-1 with a file on disk, and may or may
35 * not be loaded at a given time.
37 * The primary source, at all times, of plugin information is each plugin file
38 * itself. Thus, if an application wants information about a particular plugin,
39 * or wants to search for a feature that satisfies given criteria, the primary
40 * means of doing so is to load every plugin and look at the resulting
41 * information that is gathered in the default registry. Clearly, this is a time
42 * consuming process, so we cache information in the registry file. The format
43 * and location of the cache file is internal to gstreamer.
45 * On startup, plugins are searched for in the plugin search path. The following
46 * locations are checked in this order:
49 * <para>location from --gst-plugin-path commandline option.</para>
52 * <para>the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable.</para>
55 * <para>the GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH environment variable.</para>
58 * <para>default locations (if GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH is not set). Those
59 * default locations are:
60 * <filename>~/.gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/plugins/</filename>
61 * and <filename>$prefix/libs/gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/</filename>.
65 * The registry cache file is loaded from
66 * <filename>~/.gstreamer-$GST_API_VERSION/registry-$ARCH.bin</filename> or the
67 * file listed in the GST_REGISTRY env var. One reason to change the registry
68 * location is for testing.
70 * For each plugin that is found in the plugin search path, there could be 3
71 * possibilities for cached information:
74 * <para>the cache may not contain information about a given file.</para>
77 * <para>the cache may have stale information.</para>
80 * <para>the cache may have current information.</para>
84 * In the first two cases, the plugin is loaded and the cache updated. In
85 * addition to these cases, the cache may have entries for plugins that are not
86 * relevant to the current process. These are marked as not available to the
87 * current process. If the cache is updated for whatever reason, it is marked
90 * A dirty cache is written out at the end of initialization. Each entry is
91 * checked to make sure the information is minimally valid. If not, the entry is
94 * <emphasis role="bold">Implementation notes:</emphasis>
96 * The "cache" and "registry" are different concepts and can represent
97 * different sets of plugins. For various reasons, at init time, the cache is
98 * stored in the default registry, and plugins not relevant to the current
99 * process are marked with the %GST_PLUGIN_FLAG_CACHED bit. These plugins are
100 * removed at the end of initialization.
