Description

A GstStructure is a collection of key/value pairs. The keys are expressed as GQuarks and the values can be of any GType.

In addition to the key/value pairs, a GstStructure also has a name. The name starts with a letter and can be filled by letters, numbers and any of "/-_.:".

GstStructure is used by various GStreamer subsystems to store information in a flexible and extensible way. A GstStructure does not have a refcount because it usually is part of a higher level object such as GstCaps, GstMessage, GstEvent, GstQuery. It provides a means to enforce mutability using the refcount of the parent with the gst_structure_set_parent_refcount() method.

A GstStructure can be created with gst_structure_new_empty() or gst_structure_new(), which both take a name and an optional set of key/value pairs along with the types of the values.

Field values can be changed with gst_structure_set_value() or gst_structure_set().

Field values can be retrieved with gst_structure_get_value() or the more convenient gst_structure_get_*() functions.

Fields can be removed with gst_structure_remove_field() or gst_structure_remove_fields().

Strings in structures must be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. Other encodings are not allowed. Strings may be NULL however.

Be aware that the current GstCaps / GstStructure serialization into string has limited support for nested GstCaps / GstStructure fields. It can only support one level of nesting. Using more levels will lead to unexpected behavior when using serialization features, such as gst_caps_to_string() or gst_value_serialize() and their counterparts.

const gchar *
gst_structure_get_name (const GstStructure *structure);

Get the name of structure as a string.

structure

a GstStructure

 

Returns

the name of the structure.


gst_structure_has_name ()

gboolean
gst_structure_has_name (const GstStructure *structure,
                        const gchar *name);

Checks if the structure has the given name

Parameters

structure

a GstStructure

 

name

structure name to check for

 

Returns

TRUE if name matches the name of the structure.


gst_structure_set_name ()

void
gst_structure_set_name (GstStructure *structure,
                        const gchar *name);

Sets the name of the structure to the given name . The string provided is copied before being used. It must not be empty, start with a letter and can be followed by letters, numbers and any of "/-_.:".

Parameters

structure

a GstStructure

 

name

the new name of the structure

 

gst_structure_get_name_id ()

GQuark
gst_structure_get_name_id (const GstStructure *structure);

Get the name of structure as a GQuark.

Parameters

structure

a GstStructure

 

Returns

the quark representing the name of the structure.


gst_structure_id_get ()

gboolean
gst_structure_id_get (const GstStructure *structure,
                      GQuark first_field_id,
                      ...);

Parses the variable arguments and reads fields from structure accordingly. Variable arguments should be in the form field id quark, field type (as a GType), pointer(s) to a variable(s) to hold the return value(s). The last variable argument should be NULL (technically it should be a 0 quark, but we require NULL so compilers that support it can check for the NULL terminator and warn if it's not there).

This function is just like gst_structure_get() only that it is slightly more efficient since it saves the string-to-quark lookup in the global quark hashtable.

For refcounted (mini)objects you will receive a new reference which you must release with a suitable _unref() when no longer needed. For strings and boxed types you will receive a copy which you will need to release with either g_free() or the suitable function for the boxed type.

Parameters

structure

a GstStructure

 

first_field_id

the quark of the first field to read

 

...

variable arguments

 

Returns

FALSE if there was a problem reading any of the fields (e.g. because the field requested did not exist, or was of a type other than the type specified), otherwise TRUE.

gst_structure_id_get_valist (const GstStructure *structure,
                             GQuark first_field_id,
                             va_list args);

This prints the structure in human readable form.

The current implementation of serialization will lead to unexpected results when there are nested GstCaps / GstStructure deeper than one level.

Returns

a pointer to string allocated by g_malloc(). g_free() after usage.
