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.
