## Description

Manages a set of pads that operate in collect mode. This means that control is given to the manager of this object when all pads have data.

- Collectpads are created with `gst_collect_pads_new()`. A callback should then be installed with `gst_collect_pads_set_function()`.

- Pads are added to the collection with `gst_collect_pads_add_pad()`/ `gst_collect_pads_remove_pad()`. The pad has to be a sinkpad. When added, the chain, event and query functions of the pad are overridden. The element_private of the pad is used to store private information for the collectpads.

- For each pad, data is queued in the _chain function or by performing a pull_range.

- When data is queued on all pads in waiting mode, the callback function is called.

- Data can be dequeued from the pad with the `gst_collect_pads_pop()` method. One can peek at the data with the `gst_collect_pads_peek()` function. These functions will return `NULL` if the pad received an EOS event. When all pads return `NULL` from a `gst_collect_pads_peek()`, the element can emit an EOS event itself.

- Data can also be dequeued in byte units using the `gst_collect_pads_available()`, `gst_collect_pads_read_buffer()` and `gst_collect_pads_flush()` calls.

- Elements should call `gst_collect_pads_start()` and `gst_collect_pads_stop()` in their state change functions to start and stop the processing of the collectpads. The `gst_collect_pads_stop()` call should be called before calling the parent element state change function in the PAUSED_TO_READY state change to ensure no pad is blocked and the element can finish streaming.

- gst_collect_pads_set_waiting() sets a pad to waiting or non-waiting mode. CollectPads element is not waiting for data to be collected on non-waiting pads. Thus these pads may but need not have data when the callback is called. All pads are in waiting mode by default.

## Functions

### GstCollectDataDestroyNotify ()

    void
    (*GstCollectDataDestroyNotify) (GstCollectData *data);

A function that will be called when the GstCollectData will be freed. It is passed the pointer to the structure and should free any custom memory and resources allocated for it.

#### Parameters

pads | the GstCollectPads that triggered the callback |
pad | the GstPad that received an event |

A function that will be called while processing a flushing seek event.

The function should flush any internal state of the element and the state of all the pads. It should clear only the state not directly managed by the `pads` object. It is therefore not necessary to call gst_collect_pads_set_flushing nor gst_collect_pads_clear from this function.

### gst_collect_pads_add_pad ()

    GstCollectData *
    gst_collect_pads_add_pad (GstCollectPads *pads,
                              GstPad *pad,
                              guint size,

                              gboolean lock);

Add a pad to the collection of collect pads. The pad has to be a sinkpad. The refcount of the pad is incremented. Use `gst_collect_pads_remove_pad()` to remove the pad from the collection again.

You specify a size for the returned GstCollectData structure so that you can use it to store additional information.

You can also specify a GstCollectDataDestroyNotify that will be called just before the GstCollectData structure is freed. It is passed the pointer to the structure and should free any custom memory and resources allocated for it.

Keeping a pad locked in waiting state is only relevant when using the default collection algorithm (providing the oldest buffer). It ensures a buffer must be available on this pad for a collection to take place. This is of typical use to a muxer element where non-subtitle streams should always be in waiting state, e.g. to assure that caps information is available on all these streams when initial headers have to be written.

The pad will be automatically activated in push mode when `pads` is started.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
pad | the pad to add. | [transfer none]
size | the size of the returned GstCollectData structure |
destroy_notify | function to be called before the returned GstCollectData structure is freed. | [scope async]

#### Returns

a new GstCollectData to identify the new pad. Or `NULL` if wrong parameters are supplied.

#### Parameters

pads | the pads to use |
func | the function to set. | [scope call]
user_data | user data passed to the function. | [closure]

### gst_collect_pads_set_event_function ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_event_function (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                         GstCollectPadsEventFunction func,
                                         gpointer user_data);

Set the event callback function and user data that will be called when collectpads has received an event originating from one of the collected pads. If the event being processed is a serialized one, this callback is called with `pads` STREAM_LOCK held, otherwise not. As this lock should be held when calling a number of CollectPads functions, it should be acquired if so (unusually) needed.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
func | the function to set. | [scope call]
user_data | user data passed to the function |

### gst_collect_pads_set_flush_function ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_flush_function (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                         GstCollectPadsFlushFunction func,
                                         gpointer user_data);

Install a flush function that is called when the internal state of all pads should be flushed as part of flushing seek handling. See GstCollectPadsFlushFunction for more info.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
func | flush function to install. | [scope call]
user_data | user data to pass to `func` |

Since: 1.4

### gst_collect_pads_set_query_function ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_query_function (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                         GstCollectPadsQueryFunction func,
                                         gpointer user_data);

Set the query callback function and user data that will be called after collectpads has received a query originating from one of the collected pads. If the query being processed is a serialized one, this callback is called with `pads` STREAM_LOCK held, otherwise not. As this lock should be held when calling a number of CollectPads functions, it should be acquired if so (unusually) needed.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
func | the function to set. | [scope call]
user_data | user data passed to the function |

### gst_collect_pads_set_flushing ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_flushing (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                   gboolean flushing);

Change the flushing state of all the pads in the collection. No pad is able to accept anymore data when `flushing` is `TRUE`. Calling this function with `flushing` `FALSE` makes `pads` accept data again. Caller must ensure that downstream streaming (thread) is not blocked, e.g. by sending a FLUSH_START downstream.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
flushing | desired state of the pads |

### gst_collect_pads_set_function ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_function (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                   GstCollectPadsFunction func,
                                   gpointer user_data);

CollectPads provides a default collection algorithm that will determine the oldest buffer available on all of its pads, and then delegate to a configured callback. However, if circumstances are more complicated and/or more control is desired, this sets a callback that will be invoked instead when all the pads added to the collection have buffers queued. Evidently, this callback is not compatible with `gst_collect_pads_set_buffer_function()` callback. If this callback is set, the former will be unset.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads to use |
func | the function to set. | [scope call]
user_data | user data passed to the function |

### gst_collect_pads_set_waiting ()

    void
    gst_collect_pads_set_waiting (GstCollectPads *pads,
                                  GstCollectData *data,
                                  gboolean waiting);

Sets a pad to waiting or non-waiting mode, if at least this pad has not been created with locked waiting state, in which case nothing happens.

This function should be called with `pads` STREAM_LOCK held, such as in the callback.

MT safe.

#### Parameters

pads | the collectpads |
data | the data to use |
waiting | boolean indicating whether this pad should operate in waiting or non-waiting mode |
