- * gst_egl_image_from_dmabuf_with_dma_drm:
- * @context: a #GstGLContext (must be an EGL context)
- * @dmabuf: the DMA-Buf file descriptor
- * @in_info_dma: the #GstVideoInfoDmaDrm in @dmabuf
- * @plane: the plane in @in_info to create and #GstEGLImage for
- * @offset: the byte-offset in the data
- *
- * Creates an EGL image that imports the dmabuf FD. The dmabuf data
- * is passed as RGBA data. Shaders later take this "RGBA" data and
- * convert it from its true format (described by in_info) to actual
- * RGBA output. For example, with I420, three EGL images are created,
- * one for each @plane, each EGL image with a single-channel R format.
- * With NV12, two EGL images are created, one with R format, one
- * with RG format etc. User can specify the modifier in @in_info_dma
- * for non-linear dmabuf.
- *
- * Returns: (nullable): a #GstEGLImage wrapping @dmabuf or %NULL on failure
- *
- * Since: 1.24
