+ * plugin registry.
+ *
+ * Applications will almost never need to call this function, it is only
+ * useful if the application knows new plugins have been installed (or old
+ * ones removed) since the start of the application (or, to be precise, the
+ * first call to gst_init()) and the application wants to make use of any
+ * newly-installed plugins without restarting the application.
+ *
+ * Applications should assume that the registry update is neither atomic nor
+ * thread-safe and should therefore not have any dynamic pipelines running
+ * (including the playbin and decodebin elements) and should also not create
+ * any elements or access the GStreamer registry while the update is in
+ * progress.
+ *
+ * Note that this function may block for a significant amount of time.
+ *
+ * Returns: %TRUE if the registry has been updated successfully (does not
+ * imply that there were changes), otherwise %FALSE.
+ *
+ * Since: 0.10.12
