24 * @short_description: Information about registered typefind functions
26 * These functions allow querying informations about registered typefind
27 * functions. How to create and register these functions is described in
28 * the section <link linkend="gstreamer-Writing-typefind-functions">
29 * "Writing typefind functions"</link>.

76 * The above example shows how to write a very simple typefinder that
