/**
* SECTION:gstcontext
* @short_description: Lightweight objects to represent element contexts
* @see_also: #GstMiniObject, #GstElement
*
* #GstContext is a container object used to store contexts like a device
* context, a display server connection and similar concepts that should
* be shared between multiple elements.
*
* Applications can set a context on a complete pipeline by using
* gst_element_set_context(), which will then be propagated to all
* child elements. Elements can handle these in #GstElementClass.set_context()
* and merge them with the context information they already have.
*
* When an element needs a context it will do the following actions in this
* order until one step succeeds:
* 1. Check if the element already has a context
* 2. Query downstream with GST_QUERY_CONTEXT for the context
* 3. Query upstream with GST_QUERY_CONTEXT for the context
* 4. Post a GST_MESSAGE_NEED_CONTEXT message on the bus with the required
* context types and afterwards check if a usable context was set now
* 5. Create a context by itself and post a GST_MESSAGE_HAVE_CONTEXT message
* on the bus.
*
* Bins will catch GST_MESSAGE_NEED_CONTEXT messages and will set any previously
* known context on the element that asks for it if possible. Otherwise the
* application should provide one if it can.
*
* #GstContext<!-- -->s can be persistent.
* A persistent #GstContext is kept in elements when they reach
* %GST_STATE_NULL, non-persistent ones will be removed.
* Also, a non-persistent context won't override a previous persistent
* context set to an element.
*
* Since: 1.2
