A type system is used to ensure that the data passed between elements is in
|
|
a recognised format, and that the various parameters required to fully
|
|
specify that format match up correctly. Each connection that is made between
|
|
elements has a specified type. This is related, but different, to the
|
|
metadata in buffers which describes the type of data in that particular
|
|
buffer. See the next chapter of this document for details of the available
|
|
types.
