/**
 * SECTION:gsturihandler
 * @short_description: Interface to ease URI handling in plugins.
 *
 * The URIHandler is an interface that is implemented by Source and Sink
 * #GstElement to simplify then handling of URI.
 *
 * An application can use the following functions to quickly get an element
 * that handles the given URI for reading or writing
 * (gst_element_make_from_uri()).
 *
 * Source and Sink plugins should implement this interface when possible.
