## Object Hierarchy

        GBoxed
        ╰── GstTagList

## Includes

    #include <gst/gst.h>

## Description

List of tags and values used to describe media metadata.

Strings in structures must be ASCII or UTF-8 encoded. Other encodings are not allowed. Strings must not be empty or `NULL`.

## Functions

### GstTagForeachFunc ()

    void
    (*GstTagForeachFunc) (const GstTagList *list,
                          const gchar *tag,
                          gpointer user_data);

A function that will be called in `gst_tag_list_foreach()`. The function may not modify the tag list.

#### Parameters

list | the GstTagList |
tag | a name of a tag in `list` |
user_data | user data |

### GstTagMergeFunc ()

    void
    (*GstTagMergeFunc) (GValue *dest,
                        const GValue *src);

A function for merging multiple values of a tag used when registering tags.

#### Parameters

dest | the destination GValue |
src | the source GValue |

### gst_tag_register ()

    void
    gst_tag_register (const gchar *name,
                      GstTagFlag flag,
                      GType type,
                      const gchar *nick,
                      const gchar *blurb,
                      GstTagMergeFunc func);

Registers a new tag type for the use with GStreamer's type system. If a type with that name is already registered, that one is used. The old registration may have used a different type however. So don't rely on your supplied values.

Important: if you do not supply a merge function the implication will be that there can only be one single value for this tag in a tag list and any additional values will silently be discarded when being added (unless GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE, GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL, or GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND is used as merge mode, in which case the new value will replace the old one in the list).

The merge function will be called from `gst_tag_list_copy_value()` when it is required that one or more values for a tag be condensed into one single value. This may happen from `gst_tag_list_get_string()`, `gst_tag_list_get_int()`, `gst_tag_list_get_double()` etc. What will happen exactly in that case depends on how the tag was registered and if a merge function was supplied and if so which one.

Two default merge functions are provided: `gst_tag_merge_use_first()` and `gst_tag_merge_strings_with_comma()`.

#### Parameters

name | the name or identifier string |
flag | a flag describing the type of tag info |
type | the type this data is in |
nick | human-readable name |
blurb | a human-readable description about this tag |
func | function for merging multiple values of this tag, or `NULL`. | [allow-none][scope call]

### gst_tag_register_static ()

    void
    gst_tag_register_static (const gchar *name,
                             GstTagFlag flag,
                             GType type,
                             const gchar *nick,
                             const gchar *blurb,
                             GstTagMergeFunc func);

Registers a new tag type for the use with GStreamer's type system.

Same as `gst_tag_register()`, but `name` , `nick` , and `blurb` must be static strings or inlined strings, as they will not be copied. (GStreamer plugins will be made resident once loaded, so this function can be used even from dynamically loaded plugins.)

#### Parameters

name | the name or identifier string (string constant) |
flag | a flag describing the type of tag info |
type | the type this data is in |
nick | human-readable name or short description (string constant) |
blurb | a human-readable description for this tag (string constant) |
func | function for merging multiple values of this tag, or `NULL`. | [allow-none][scope call]

### gst_tag_merge_use_first ()

    void
    gst_tag_merge_use_first (GValue *dest,
                             const GValue *src);

This is a convenience function for the func argument of `gst_tag_register()`. It creates a copy of the first value from the list.

#### Parameters

dest | uninitialized GValue to store result in. | [out caller-allocates]
src | GValue to copy from |

### gst_tag_merge_strings_with_comma ()

    void
    gst_tag_merge_strings_with_comma (GValue *dest,
                                      const GValue *src);

This is a convenience function for the func argument of `gst_tag_register()`. It concatenates all given strings using a comma. The tag must be registered as a G_TYPE_STRING or this function will fail.

#### Parameters

dest | uninitialized GValue to store result in. | [out caller-allocates]
src | GValue to copy from |

### gst_tag_exists ()

    gboolean
    gst_tag_exists (const gchar *tag);

Checks if the given type is already registered.

#### Parameters

tag | name of the tag |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the type is already registered

### gst_tag_get_type ()

    GType
    gst_tag_get_type (const gchar *tag);

Gets the GType used for this tag.

#### Parameters

tag | the tag |

#### Returns

the GType of this tag

### gst_tag_get_nick ()

    const gchar *
    gst_tag_get_nick (const gchar *tag);

Returns the human-readable name of this tag, You must not change or free this string.

#### Parameters

tag | the tag |

#### Returns

the human-readable name of this tag

### gst_tag_get_description ()

    const gchar *
    gst_tag_get_description (const gchar *tag);

Returns the human-readable description of this tag, You must not change or free this string.

#### Parameters

tag | the tag |

#### Returns

the human-readable description of this tag

### gst_tag_get_flag ()

    GstTagFlag
    gst_tag_get_flag (const gchar *tag);

Gets the flag of `tag` .

#### Parameters

tag | the tag |

#### Returns

the flag of this tag.

### gst_tag_is_fixed ()

    gboolean
    gst_tag_is_fixed (const gchar *tag);

Checks if the given tag is fixed. A fixed tag can only contain one value. Unfixed tags can contain lists of values.

#### Parameters

tag | tag to check |

#### Returns

`TRUE`, if the given tag is fixed.

### gst_tag_list_new ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_new (const gchar *tag,
                      ...);

Creates a new taglist and appends the values for the given tags. It expects tag-value pairs like `gst_tag_list_add()`, and a `NULL` terminator after the last pair. The type of the values is implicit and is documented in the API reference, but can also be queried at runtime with `gst_tag_get_type()`. It is an error to pass a value of a type not matching the tag type into this function. The tag list will make copies of any arguments passed (e.g. strings, buffers).

After creation you might also want to set a GstTagScope on the returned taglist to signal if the contained tags are global or stream tags. By default stream scope is assumes. See `gst_tag_list_set_scope()`.

Free-function: gst_tag_list_unref

#### Parameters

tag | tag |
... | `NULL`-terminated list of values to set |

#### Returns

a new GstTagList. Free with `gst_tag_list_unref()` when no longer needed.

[transfer full]

### gst_tag_list_new_empty ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_new_empty (void);

Creates a new empty GstTagList.

Free-function: gst_tag_list_unref

#### Returns

An empty tag list.

[transfer full]

### gst_tag_list_new_valist ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_new_valist (va_list var_args);

Just like `gst_tag_list_new()`, only that it takes a va_list argument. Useful mostly for language bindings.

Free-function: gst_tag_list_unref

#### Parameters

var_args | tag / value pairs to set |

#### Returns

a new GstTagList. Free with `gst_tag_list_unref()` when no longer needed.

[transfer full]

### gst_tag_list_new_from_string ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_new_from_string (const gchar *str);

Deserializes a tag list.

#### Parameters

str | a string created with `gst_tag_list_to_string()` |

#### Returns

a new GstTagList, or `NULL` in case of an error.

[nullable]

### gst_tag_list_free()

    #define gst_tag_list_free(taglist)    gst_tag_list_unref(taglist)

`gst_tag_list_free` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

### gst_tag_list_get_scope ()

    GstTagScope
    gst_tag_list_get_scope (const GstTagList *list);

Gets the scope of `list` .

#### Parameters

list | a GstTagList |

#### Returns

The scope of `list`

### gst_tag_list_set_scope ()

    void
    gst_tag_list_set_scope (GstTagList *list,
                            GstTagScope scope);

Sets the scope of `list` to `scope` . By default the scope of a taglist is stream scope.

#### Parameters

list | a GstTagList |
scope | new scope for `list` |

### gst_tag_list_to_string ()

    gchar *
    gst_tag_list_to_string (const GstTagList *list);

Serializes a tag list to a string.

#### Parameters

list | a GstTagList |

#### Returns

a newly-allocated string, or `NULL` in case of an error. The string must be freed with `g_free()` when no longer needed.

[nullable]

### gst_tag_list_is_empty ()

    gboolean
    gst_tag_list_is_empty (const GstTagList *list);

Checks if the given taglist is empty.

#### Parameters

list | A GstTagList. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the taglist is empty, otherwise `FALSE`.

### gst_tag_list_is_equal ()

    gboolean
    gst_tag_list_is_equal (const GstTagList *list1,
                           const GstTagList *list2);

Checks if the two given taglists are equal.

#### Parameters

list1 | a GstTagList. |
list2 | a GstTagList. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the taglists are equal, otherwise `FALSE`

### gst_tag_list_copy ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_copy (const GstTagList *taglist);

Creates a new GstTagList as a copy of the old `taglist` . The new taglist will have a refcount of 1, owned by the caller, and will be writable as a result.

Note that this function is the semantic equivalent of a `gst_tag_list_ref()` followed by a `gst_tag_list_make_writable()`. If you only want to hold on to a reference to the data, you should use `gst_tag_list_ref()`.

When you are finished with the taglist, call `gst_tag_list_unref()` on it.

#### Parameters

taglist | a GstTagList. |

#### Returns

the new GstTagList

### gst_tag_list_ref ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_ref (GstTagList *taglist);

Add a reference to a GstTagList mini object.

From this point on, until the caller calls `gst_tag_list_unref()` or `gst_tag_list_make_writable()`, it is guaranteed that the taglist object will not change. To use a GstTagList object, you must always have a refcount on it -- either the one made implicitly by e.g. `gst_tag_list_new()`, or via taking one explicitly with this function.

#### Parameters

taglist | the GstTagList to reference |

#### Returns

the same GstTagList mini object.

### gst_tag_list_unref ()

    void
    gst_tag_list_unref (GstTagList *taglist);

Unref a GstTagList, and and free all its memory when the refcount reaches 0.

#### Parameters

taglist | a GstTagList. |

### gst_tag_list_is_writable()

    #define gst_tag_list_is_writable(taglist)    gst_mini_object_is_writable (GST_MINI_OBJECT_CAST (taglist))

Tests if you can safely modify `taglist` . It is only safe to modify taglist when there is only one owner of the taglist - ie, the refcount is 1.

#### Parameters

taglist | a GstTagList |

### gst_tag_list_make_writable()

    #define gst_tag_list_make_writable(taglist)   GST_TAG_LIST (gst_mini_object_make_writable (GST_MINI_OBJECT_CAST (taglist)))

Returns a writable copy of `taglist` .

If there is only one reference count on `taglist` , the caller must be the owner, and so this function will return the taglist object unchanged. If on the other hand there is more than one reference on the object, a new taglist object will be returned (which will be a copy of `taglist` ). The caller's reference on `taglist` will be removed, and instead the caller will own a reference to the returned object.

In short, this function unrefs the taglist in the argument and refs the taglist that it returns. Don't access the argument after calling this function. See also: `gst_tag_list_ref()`.

#### Parameters

taglist | a GstTagList. | [transfer full]

#### Returns

a writable taglist which may or may not be the same as `taglist` .

[transfer full]

### gst_tag_list_insert ()

    void
    gst_tag_list_insert (GstTagList *into,
                         const GstTagList *from,
                         GstTagMergeMode mode);

Inserts the tags of the `from` list into the first list using the given mode.

#### Parameters

into | list to merge into |
from | list to merge from |
mode | the mode to use |

### gst_tag_list_merge ()

    GstTagList *
    gst_tag_list_merge (const GstTagList *list1,
                        const GstTagList *list2,
                        GstTagMergeMode mode);

Merges the two given lists into a new list. If one of the lists is `NULL`, a copy of the other is returned. If both lists are `NULL`, `NULL` is returned.

Free-function: gst_tag_list_unref

#### Parameters

list1 | first list to merge. | [allow-none]
list2 | second list to merge. | [allow-none]
mode | the mode to use |

#### Returns

the new list.
