— Class: <gst-xml>

This <gobject> class defines no properties, other than those defined by its superclasses.

— Signal on <gst-xml>: object-loaded (arg0 <gst-object>) (arg1 <gpointer>)

Signals that a new object has been deserialized.

— Function: gst-xml-write (element <gst-element>)   (ret <xml-doc-ptr>)

Converts the given element into an XML presentation.

element

The element to write out

ret

a pointer to an XML document

— Function: gst-xml-write-file (element <gst-element>) (out <file*>)   (ret int)

Converts the given element into XML and writes the formatted XML to an open file.

element

The element to write out

out

an open file, like stdout

ret

number of bytes written on success, -1 otherwise.

— Function: gst-xml-new   (ret <gst-xml>)

Create a new GstXML parser object.

ret

a pointer to a new GstXML object.

— Function: gst-xml-parse-doc (self <gst-xml>) (doc <xml-doc-ptr>) (root <guchar*>)   (ret bool)
— Method: parse-doc

Fills the GstXML object with the elements from the xmlDocPtr.

xml

a pointer to a GstXML object

doc

a pointer to an xml document to parse

root

The name of the root object to build

ret

TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise

— Function: gst-xml-parse-file (self <gst-xml>) (fname <guchar*>) (root <guchar*>)   (ret bool)
— Method: parse-file

Fills the GstXML object with the corresponding elements from the XML file fname. Optionally it will only build the element from the element node root (if it is not NULL). This feature is useful if you only want to build a specific element from an XML file but not the pipeline it is embedded in.

Pass "-" as fname to read from stdin. You can also pass a URI of any format that libxml supports, including http.

xml

a pointer to a GstXML object

fname

The filename with the xml description

root

The name of the root object to build

ret

TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise

— Function: gst-xml-parse-memory (self <gst-xml>) (buffer <guchar*>) (size unsigned-int) (root mchars)   (ret bool)
— Method: parse-memory

Fills the GstXML object with the corresponding elements from an in memory XML buffer.

xml

a pointer to a GstXML object

buffer

a pointer to the in memory XML buffer

size

the size of the buffer

root

the name of the root objects to build

ret

TRUE on success

— Function: gst-xml-get-element (self <gst-xml>) (name <guchar*>)   (ret <gst-element>)
— Method: get-element

This function is used to get a pointer to the GstElement corresponding to name in the pipeline description. You would use this if you have to do anything to the element after loading.

xml

The GstXML to get the element from

name

The name of element to retrieve

ret

a pointer to a new GstElement, caller owns returned reference.

— Function: gst-xml-get-topelements (self <gst-xml>)   (ret glist-of)
— Method: get-topelements

Retrieve a list of toplevel elements.

xml

The GstXML to get the elements from

ret

a GList of top-level elements. The caller does not own a copy of the list and must not free or modify the list. The caller also does not own a reference to any of the elements in the list and should obtain its own reference using gst-object-ref if necessary.

— Function: gst-xml-make-element (cur <xml-node-ptr>) (parent <gst-object>)   (ret <gst-element>)

Load the element from the XML description

cur

the xml node

parent

the parent of this object when it's loaded

ret

the new element
