/**
 * SECTION:gstquery
 * @short_description: Dynamically register new query types. Provide functions
 *                     to create queries, and to set and parse values in them.
 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElement
 *
 * GstQuery functions are used to register a new query types to the gstreamer
 * core.
 * Query types can be used to perform queries on pads and elements.
 *
 * Queries can be created using the gst_query_new_xxx() functions.  
 * Query values can be set using gst_query_set_xxx(), and parsed using 
 * gst_query_parse_xxx() helpers.
 *
 * The following example shows how to query the duration of a pipeline:
 * 
 * <example>
 *  <title>Query duration on a pipeline</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *  GstQuery *query;
 *  gboolean res;
 *  query = gst_query_new_duration (GST_FORMAT_TIME);
 *  res = gst_element_query (pipeline, query);
 *  if (res) {
 *    gint64 duration;
 *    gst_query_parse_duration (query, NULL, &amp;duration);
 *    g_print ("duration = %"GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (duration));
 *  }
 *  else {
 *    g_print ("duration query failed...");
 *  }
 *  gst_query_unref (query);
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>
