GstBitReader

GstBitReader — Reads any number of bits from a memory buffer

Types and Values

Includes

#include <gst/base/gstbitreader.h>

Description

GstBitReader provides a bit reader that can read any number of bits from a memory buffer. It provides functions for reading any number of bits into 8, 16, 32 and 64 bit variables.

Functions

GST_BIT_READER_INIT()

#define GST_BIT_READER_INIT(data, size) {data, size, 0, 0}

A GstBitReader must be initialized with this macro, before it can be used. This macro can used be to initialize a variable, but it cannot be assigned to a variable. In that case you have to use gst_bit_reader_init().

Parameters

data

Data from which the GstBitReader should read

 

size

Size of data in bytes

 

gst_bit_reader_new ()

GstBitReader *
gst_bit_reader_new (const guint8 *data,
                    guint size);

Create a new GstBitReader instance, which will read from data .

Free-function: gst_bit_reader_free

[skip]

Parameters

data

Returns

a new GstBitReader instance.
