<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GstObject
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Basis for the GST object hierarchy.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
GstObject provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the
GST library. It is currently a thin wrapper on top of
<classname>GObject</classname>. It is an abstract class that is not
very usable on its own.
</para>
<para>
GstObject gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking.
</para>
<para>
gst_object_set_name() and gst_object_get_name() are used to set/get the name of the
object.
</para>
<!-- ##### SECTION See_Also ##### -->
<para>
</para>
<!-- ##### ENUM GstObjectFlags ##### -->
<para>
Flags for an object
</para>
@GST_DESTROYED: The object is flagged for destruction
@GST_FLOATING: The object is created but has no parent yet to manage it
@GST_OBJECT_FLAG_LAST: subclasses can add additional flags starting from this flag
<!-- ##### STRUCT GstObject ##### -->
<para>
The GstObject
</para>
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_FLAGS ##### -->
<para>
This macro returns the entire set of flags for the object.
</para>
@obj: Object to return flags for.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_FLAG_IS_SET ##### -->
<para>
This macro checks to see if the given flag is set.
</para>
@obj: GstSrc to check for flag in.
@flag: Flag to check for, must be a single bit in guint32.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_FLAG_SET ##### -->
<para>
This macro sets the given bits.
</para>
@obj: Object to set flag in.
@flag: Flag to set, can by any number of bits in guint32.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_FLAG_UNSET ##### -->
<para>
This macro usets the given bits.
</para>
@obj: Object to unset flag in.
@flag: Flag to set, must be a single bit in guint32.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_LOCK ##### -->
<para>
This macro will obtain a lock on the object, making serialization
possible.
</para>
@obj: Object to lock.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_TRYLOCK ##### -->
<para>
This macro will try to obtain a lock on the object, but will return with
FALSE if it can't get it immediately.
</para>
@obj: Object to try to get a lock on.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_UNLOCK ##### -->
<para>
This macro releases a lock on the object.
</para>
@obj: Object to unlock.
<!-- ##### MACRO GST_GET_LOCK ##### -->
<para>
Acquire a reference to the mutex of this object.
</para>
@obj: Object to get the mutex of.

<para>
Get the parent of this object
</para>
@obj: Object to get the parent of.
