/**
 * SECTION:gstadapter
 * @short_description: adapts incoming data on a sink pad into chunks of N bytes
 *
 * This class is for elements that receive buffers in an undesired size.
 * While for example raw video contains one image per buffer, the same is not
 * true for a lot of other formats, especially those that come directly from
 * a file. So if you have undefined buffer sizes and require a specific size,
 * this object is for you.
 *
 * An adapter is created with gst_adapter_new(). It can be freed again with
 * g_object_unref().
 *
 * The theory of operation is like this: All buffers received are put
 * into the adapter using gst_adapter_push() and the data is then read back
 * in chunks of the desired size using gst_adapter_map()/gst_adapter_unmap()
 * and/or gst_adapter_copy(). After the data has been processed, it is freed
 * using gst_adapter_unmap().
 *
 * Other methods such as gst_adapter_take() and gst_adapter_take_buffer()
 * combine gst_adapter_map() and gst_adapter_unmap() in one method and are
 * potentially more convenient for some use cases.
 *
 * For example, a sink pad's chain function that needs to pass data to a library
 * in 512-byte chunks could be implemented like this:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * static GstFlowReturn
 * sink_pad_chain (GstPad *pad, GstObject *parent, GstBuffer *buffer)
 * {
 *   MyElement *this;
 *   GstAdapter *adapter;
 *   GstFlowReturn ret = GST_FLOW_OK;
 *
 *   this = MY_ELEMENT (parent);
 *
 *   adapter = this->adapter;
 *
 *   // put buffer into adapter
 *   gst_adapter_push (adapter, buffer);
 *
 *   // while we can read out 512 bytes, process them
 *   while (gst_adapter_available (adapter) >= 512 && ret == GST_FLOW_OK) {
 *     const guint8 *data = gst_adapter_map (adapter, 512);
 *     // use flowreturn as an error value
 *     ret = my_library_foo (data);
 *     gst_adapter_unmap (adapter);
 *     gst_adapter_flush (adapter, 512);
 *   }
 *   return ret;
 * }
 * ]|
 *
 * For another example, a simple element inside GStreamer that uses #GstAdapter
 * is the libvisual element.
 *
 * An element using #GstAdapter in its sink pad chain function should ensure that
 * when the FLUSH_STOP event is received, that any queued data is cleared using
 * gst_adapter_clear(). Data should also be cleared or processed on EOS and
 * when changing state from %GST_STATE_PAUSED to %GST_STATE_READY.
 *
 * Also check the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT flag on the buffer. Some elements might
 * need to clear the adapter after a discontinuity.
 *
 * The adapter will keep track of the timestamps of the buffers
 * that were pushed. The last seen timestamp before the current position
 * can be queried with gst_adapter_prev_pts(). This function can
 * optionally return the number of bytes between the start of the buffer that
 * carried the timestamp and the current adapter position. The distance is
 * useful when dealing with, for example, raw audio samples because it allows
 * you to calculate the timestamp of the current adapter position by using the
 * last seen timestamp and the amount of bytes since.  Additionally, the
 * gst_adapter_prev_pts_at_offset() can be used to determine the last
 * seen timestamp at a particular offset in the adapter.
 *
 * A last thing to note is that while #GstAdapter is pretty optimized,
 * merging buffers still might be an operation that requires a malloc() and
 * memcpy() operation, and these operations are not the fastest. Because of
 * this, some functions like gst_adapter_available_fast() are provided to help
 * speed up such cases should you want to. To avoid repeated memory allocations,
 * gst_adapter_copy() can be used to copy data into a (statically allocated)
 * user provided buffer.
 *
 * #GstAdapter is not MT safe. All operations on an adapter must be serialized by
 * the caller. This is not normally a problem, however, as the normal use case
 * of #GstAdapter is inside one pad's chain function, in which case access is
 * serialized via the pad's STREAM_LOCK.
 *
 * Note that gst_adapter_push() takes ownership of the buffer passed. Use
 * gst_buffer_ref() before pushing it into the adapter if you still want to
 * access the buffer later. The adapter will never modify the data in the
 * buffer pushed in it.

 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32:
 * @adapter: a #GstAdapter
 * @mask: mask to apply to data before matching against @pattern
 * @pattern: pattern to match (after mask is applied)
 * @offset: offset into the adapter data from which to start scanning, returns
 *          the last scanned position.
 * @size: number of bytes to scan from offset
 *
 * Scan for pattern @pattern with applied mask @mask in the adapter data,
 * starting from offset @offset.
 *
 * The bytes in @pattern and @mask are interpreted left-to-right, regardless

 * adapter for it to match, even if the first or last bytes are masked out.
 *
 * It is an error to call this function without making sure that there is

 *
 * This function calls gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32_peek() passing %NULL
 * for value.
 *
 * Returns: offset of the first match, or -1 if no match was found.
 *
 * Example:
 * <programlisting>
 * // Assume the adapter contains 0x00 0x01 0x02 ... 0xfe 0xff
 *
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x00010203, 0, 256);
 * // -> returns 0
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x00010203, 1, 255);
 * // -> returns -1
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x01020304, 1, 255);
 * // -> returns 1
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff, 0x0001, 0, 256);
 * // -> returns -1
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff, 0x0203, 0, 256);
 * // -> returns 0
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff0000, 0x02030000, 0, 256);
 * // -> returns 2
 * gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff0000, 0x02030000, 0, 4);
