GstBufferPool
|

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
|
|
Create buffers from a pool

|

<para>
|
|
A bufferpool is used to create buffers in an efficient way. En element
|
|
can maintain a bufferpool with a fixed number of buffers. This will reduce
|
|
the g_malloc and g_free overhead.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A bufferpool can also be used to implement direct access. A bufferpool can be
|
|
sent from one element to another so that the latter can directly write into
|
|
the memory of the element that maintains the bufferpool. This can greatly reduce
|
|
the number of memcpy operations.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A bufferpool is created with gst_buffer_pool_new(). You'll have to set the
|
|
buffer allocation and destroy function afterwards with gst_buffer_pool_set_create_function() and
|
|
gst_buffer_pool_set_destroy_function().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create a buffer from the bufferpool use gst_buffer_pool_new_buffer(), which is
|
|
functionally equivalent to gst_buffer_new_from_pool().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When the buffer is unreffed and has reached a refcount of 0, the bufferpools destroy
|
|
function is called with the buffer as an argument.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A bufferpool can store private data in the buffer it creates with the GST_BUFFER_POOL_PRIVATE()
|
|
macro. To check it a buffer was made by a specific bufferpool, use the GST_BUFFER_BUFFERPOOL()
|
|
macro to get it's bufferpool.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Destroy the bufferpool with gst_buffer_pool_destroy().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A bufferpool can be requested from a pad with the gst_pad_get_bufferpool() function.
