<div class="refsect1">
<a name="GstTask.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p><a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> is used by <a class="link" href="GstElement.html" title="GstElement"><span class="type">GstElement</span></a> and <a class="link" href="GstPad.html" title="GstPad"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a> to provide the data passing
threads in a <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a>.</p>
<p>A <a class="link" href="GstPad.html" title="GstPad"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a> will typically start a <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> to push or pull data to/from the
peer pads. Most source elements start a <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> to push data. In some cases
a demuxer element can start a <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> to pull data from a peer element. This
is typically done when the demuxer can perform random access on the upstream
peer element for improved performance.</p>
<p>Although convenience functions exist on <a class="link" href="GstPad.html" title="GstPad"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a> to start/pause/stop tasks, it
might sometimes be needed to create a <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> manually if it is not related to
a <a class="link" href="GstPad.html" title="GstPad"><span class="type">GstPad</span></a>.</p>
<p>Before the <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> can be run, it needs a <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Threads.html#GRecMutex"><span class="type">GRecMutex</span></a> that can be set with
<a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-set-lock" title="gst_task_set_lock ()"><code class="function">gst_task_set_lock()</code></a>.</p>
<p>The task can be started, paused and stopped with <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-start" title="gst_task_start ()"><code class="function">gst_task_start()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-pause" title="gst_task_pause ()"><code class="function">gst_task_pause()</code></a>
and <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-stop" title="gst_task_stop ()"><code class="function">gst_task_stop()</code></a> respectively or with the <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-set-state" title="gst_task_set_state ()"><code class="function">gst_task_set_state()</code></a> function.</p>
<p>A <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a> will repeatedly call the <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#GstTaskFunction" title="GstTaskFunction ()"><span class="type">GstTaskFunction</span></a> with the user data
that was provided when creating the task with <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-new" title="gst_task_new ()"><code class="function">gst_task_new()</code></a>. While calling
the function it will acquire the provided lock. The provided lock is released
when the task pauses or stops.</p>
<p>Stopping a task with <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-stop" title="gst_task_stop ()"><code class="function">gst_task_stop()</code></a> will not immediately make sure the task is
not running anymore. Use <a class="link" href="GstTask.html#gst-task-join" title="gst_task_join ()"><code class="function">gst_task_join()</code></a> to make sure the task is completely
stopped and the thread is stopped.</p>
<p>After creating a <a class="link" href="GstTask.html" title="GstTask"><span class="type">GstTask</span></a>, use <a class="link" href="GstObject.html#gst-object-unref" title="gst_object_unref ()"><code class="function">gst_object_unref()</code></a> to free its resources. This can
only be done when the task is not running anymore.</p>
<p>Task functions can send a <a class="link" href="GstMessage.html" title="GstMessage"><span class="type">GstMessage</span></a> to send out-of-band data to the
application. The application can receive messages from the <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a> in its
mainloop.</p>
<p>For debugging purposes, the task will configure its object name as the thread
name on Linux. Please note that the object name should be configured before the
task is started; changing the object name after the task has been started, has
no effect on the thread name.</p>
