/**
* SECTION:gstmemory
* @short_description: refcounted wrapper for memory blocks
* @see_also: #GstBuffer
*
* GstMemory is a lightweight refcounted object that wraps a region of memory.
* They are typically used to manage the data of a #GstBuffer.
*
* A GstMemory object has an allocated region of memory of maxsize. The maximum
* size does not change during the lifetime of the memory object. The memory
* also has an offset and size property that specifies the valid range of memory
* in the allocated region.
*
* Memory is usually created by allocators with a gst_allocator_alloc()
* method call. When %NULL is used as the allocator, the default allocator will
* be used.
*
* New allocators can be registered with gst_allocator_register().
* Allocators are identified by name and can be retrieved with
* gst_allocator_find(). gst_allocator_set_default() can be used to change the
* default allocator.
*
* New memory can be created with gst_memory_new_wrapped() that wraps the memory
* allocated elsewhere.
*
* Refcounting of the memory block is performed with gst_memory_ref() and
* gst_memory_unref().
*
* The size of the memory can be retrieved and changed with
* gst_memory_get_sizes() and gst_memory_resize() respectively.
*
* Getting access to the data of the memory is performed with gst_memory_map().
* The call will return a pointer to offset bytes into the region of memory.
* After the memory access is completed, gst_memory_unmap() should be called.
*
* Memory can be copied with gst_memory_copy(), which will return a writable
* copy. gst_memory_share() will create a new memory block that shares the
* memory with an existing memory block at a custom offset and with a custom
* size.
*
* Memory can be efficiently merged when gst_memory_is_span() returns %TRUE.
