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>.
31 * The following example shows how to write a very simple typefinder that
32 * identifies the given data. You can get quite a bit more complicated than
42 * my_peek (gpointer data, gint64 offset, guint size)
44 * MyTypeFind *find = (MyTypeFind *) data;
45 * if (offset >= 0 && offset + size <= find->size) {
46 * return find->data + offset;
51 * my_suggest (gpointer data, guint probability, GstCaps *caps)
53 * MyTypeFind *find = (MyTypeFind *) data;
54 * if (probability > find->probability) {
55 * find->probability = probability;
56 * gst_caps_replace (&find->caps, caps);
60 * find_type (guint8 *data, guint size)
62 * GList *walk, *type_list;
63 * MyTypeFind find = {data, size, 0, NULL};
64 * GstTypeFind gst_find = {my_peek, my_suggest, &find, };
65 * walk = type_list = gst_type_find_factory_get_list ();
67 * GstTypeFindFactory *factory = GST_TYPE_FIND_FACTORY (walk->data);
68 * walk = g_list_next (walk)
69 * gst_type_find_factory_call_function (factory, &gst_find);
71 * g_list_free (type_list);
