23  * SECTION:gstmemory
24  * @title: GstMemory
25  * @short_description: refcounted wrapper for memory blocks
26  * @see_also: #GstBuffer
27  *
28  * GstMemory is a lightweight refcounted object that wraps a region of memory.
29  * They are typically used to manage the data of a #GstBuffer.
30  *
31  * A GstMemory object has an allocated region of memory of maxsize. The maximum
32  * size does not change during the lifetime of the memory object. The memory
33  * also has an offset and size property that specifies the valid range of memory
34  * in the allocated region.
35  *
36  * Memory is usually created by allocators with a gst_allocator_alloc()
37  * method call. When %NULL is used as the allocator, the default allocator will
38  * be used.
39  *
40  * New allocators can be registered with gst_allocator_register().
41  * Allocators are identified by name and can be retrieved with
42  * gst_allocator_find(). gst_allocator_set_default() can be used to change the
43  * default allocator.
44  *
45  * New memory can be created with gst_memory_new_wrapped() that wraps the memory
46  * allocated elsewhere.
47  *
48  * Refcounting of the memory block is performed with gst_memory_ref() and
49  * gst_memory_unref().
50  *
51  * The size of the memory can be retrieved and changed with
52  * gst_memory_get_sizes() and gst_memory_resize() respectively.
53  *
54  * Getting access to the data of the memory is performed with gst_memory_map().
55  * The call will return a pointer to offset bytes into the region of memory.
56  * After the memory access is completed, gst_memory_unmap() should be called.
57  *
58  * Memory can be copied with gst_memory_copy(), which will return a writable
59  * copy. gst_memory_share() will create a new memory block that shares the
60  * memory with an existing memory block at a custom offset and with a custom
61  * size.
62  *
63  * Memory can be efficiently merged when gst_memory_is_span() returns %TRUE.
