/**
* SECTION:gstmeta
* @short_description: Buffer metadata
*
* The #GstMeta structure should be included as the first member of a #GstBuffer
* metadata structure. The structure defines the API of the metadata and should
* be accessible to all elements using the metadata.
*
* A metadata API is registered with gst_meta_api_type_register() which takes a
* name for the metadata API and some tags associated with the metadata.
* With gst_meta_api_type_has_tag() one can check if a certain metadata API
* contains a given tag.
*
* Multiple implementations of a metadata API can be registered.
* To implement a metadata API, gst_meta_register() should be used. This
* function takes all parameters needed to create, free and transform metadata
* along with the size of the metadata. The function returns a #GstMetaInfo
* structure that contains the information for the implementation of the API.
*
* A specific implementation can be retrieved by name with gst_meta_get_info().
*
* See #GstBuffer for how the metadata can be added, retrieved and removed from
* buffers.
