/**
 * SECTION:gstcaps
 * @short_description: Structure describing sets of media formats
 * @see_also: #GstStructure, #GstMiniObject
 *
 * Caps (capabilities) are lightweight refcounted objects describing media types.
 * They are composed of an array of #GstStructure.
 *
 * Caps are exposed on #GstPadTemplate to describe all possible types a
 * given pad can handle. They are also stored in the #GstRegistry along with
 * a description of the #GstElement.
 *
 * Caps are exposed on the element pads using the gst_pad_query_caps() pad
 * function. This function describes the possible types that the pad can
 * handle or produce at runtime.
 *
 * A #GstCaps can be constructed with the following code fragment:
 *
 * <example>
 *  <title>Creating caps</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *  GstCaps *caps;
 *  caps = gst_caps_new_simple ("video/x-raw",
 *       "format", G_TYPE_STRING, "I420",
 *       "framerate", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 25, 1,
 *       "pixel-aspect-ratio", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 1, 1,
 *       "width", G_TYPE_INT, 320,
 *       "height", G_TYPE_INT, 240,
 *       NULL);
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * A #GstCaps is fixed when it has no properties with ranges or lists. Use
 * gst_caps_is_fixed() to test for fixed caps. Fixed caps can be used in a
 * caps event to notify downstream elements of the current media type.
 *
 * Various methods exist to work with the media types such as subtracting
 * or intersecting.
