<a name="gst-plugins-base-libs-appsink.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Appsink is a sink plugin that supports many different methods for making
the application get a handle on the GStreamer data in a pipeline. Unlike
most GStreamer elements, Appsink provides external API functions.
</p>
<p>
appsink can be used by linking to the gstappsink.h header file to access the
methods or by using the appsink action signals and properties.
</p>
<p>
The normal way of retrieving buffers from appsink is by using the
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-appsink.html#gst-app-sink-pull-buffer" title="gst_app_sink_pull_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_app_sink_pull_buffer()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-appsink.html#gst-app-sink-pull-preroll" title="gst_app_sink_pull_preroll ()"><code class="function">gst_app_sink_pull_preroll()</code></a> methods.
These methods block until a buffer becomes available in the sink or when the
sink is shut down or reaches EOS.
</p>
<p>
Appsink will internally use a queue to collect buffers from the streaming
thread. If the application is not pulling buffers fast enough, this queue
will consume a lot of memory over time. The "max-buffers" property can be
used to limit the queue size. The "drop" property controls whether the
streaming thread blocks or if older buffers are dropped when the maximum
queue size is reached. Note that blocking the streaming thread can negatively
affect real-time performance and should be avoided.
</p>
<p>
If a blocking behaviour is not desirable, setting the "emit-signals" property
to <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#TRUE:CAPS"><code class="literal">TRUE</code></a> will make appsink emit the "new-buffer" and "new-preroll" signals
when a buffer can be pulled without blocking.
</p>
<p>
The "caps" property on appsink can be used to control the formats that
appsink can receive. This property can contain non-fixed caps, the format of
the pulled buffers can be obtained by getting the buffer caps.
</p>
<p>
If one of the pull-preroll or pull-buffer methods return <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS"><code class="literal">NULL</code></a>, the appsink
is stopped or in the EOS state. You can check for the EOS state with the
"eos" property or with the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-appsink.html#gst-app-sink-is-eos" title="gst_app_sink_is_eos ()"><code class="function">gst_app_sink_is_eos()</code></a> method.
</p>
<p>
The eos signal can also be used to be informed when the EOS state is reached
to avoid polling.

Set the capabilities on the appsink element. This function takes
a copy of the caps structure. After calling this method, the sink will only
accept caps that match <em class="parameter"><code>caps</code></em>. If <em class="parameter"><code>caps</code></em> is non-fixed, you must check the caps
on the buffers to get the actual used caps.

<p>
Get the last preroll buffer in <em class="parameter"><code>appsink</code></em>. This was the buffer that caused the
appsink to preroll in the PAUSED state. This buffer can be pulled many times
and remains available to the application even after EOS.

<p>
This function is typically used when dealing with a pipeline in the PAUSED
state. Calling this function after doing a seek will give the buffer right
after the seek position.
</p>
<p>
Note that the preroll buffer will also be returned as the first buffer
when calling <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-base-libs-appsink.html#gst-app-sink-pull-buffer" title="gst_app_sink_pull_buffer ()"><code class="function">gst_app_sink_pull_buffer()</code></a>.
