## Detailed Description

A class used to perform queries on pads and elements.

Queries can be performed on pads (gst_pad_query()) and elements (gst_element_query()). Please note that some queries might need a running pipeline to work.

Queries can be created using the gst_query_new_*() functions. Query values can be set using gst_query_set_*(), and parsed using gst_query_parse_*() helpers.

The following example shows how to query the duration of a pipeline:

Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> query = Gst::QueryDuration::create(Gst::FORMAT_TIME);
bool res = pipeline->query(query);
if(res)
{
gint64 duration = Glib::RefPtr<Gst::QueryDuration>::cast_dynamic(query)->parse();
...
}

| static

Constructs a new query object for querying if filter are accepted.

Free-function: gst_query_unref

Parameters

  filter | A fixed Gst::Caps.

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_allocation()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_allocation | ( | Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Caps > | caps,
|  | bool | need_pool
| ) |  |
| static

Constructs a new query object for querying the allocation properties.

Free-function: gst_query_unref

Parameters

  caps | The negotiated caps.
  need_pool | Return a pool.

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_buffering()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_buffering | ( | Gst::Format | format | ) |
| static

Constructs a new query object for querying the buffering status of a stream.

Free-function: gst_query_unref

Parameters

  format | The default Gst::Format for the new query.

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_caps()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_caps | ( | Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Caps > | filter | ) |
| static

Constructs a new query object for querying the caps.

The CAPS query should return the allowable caps for a pad in the context of the element's state, its link to other elements, and the devices or files it has opened. These caps must be a subset of the pad template caps. In the `nullptr` state with no links, the CAPS query should ideally return the same caps as the pad template. In rare circumstances, an object property can affect the caps returned by the CAPS query, but this is discouraged.

For most filters, the caps returned by CAPS query is directly affected by the allowed caps on other pads. For demuxers and decoders, the caps returned by the srcpad's getcaps function is directly related to the stream data. Again, the CAPS query should return the most specific caps it reasonably can, since this helps with autoplugging.

The filter is used to restrict the result caps, only the caps matching filter should be returned from the CAPS query. Specifying a filter might greatly reduce the amount of processing an element needs to do.

Free-function: gst_query_unref

Parameters

  filter | A filter.

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_convert()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_convert | ( | Gst::Format | format,
|  | gint64 | value,

  value | The value to convert.
  dest_format | The target Gst::Format.

Returns
  A Gst::Query.

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_duration()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_duration | ( | Gst::Format | format | ) |

Returns
  A new Gst::Query.

## § create_formats()

## § create_latency()

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Query> Gst::Query::create_latency | ( |  | ) |
| static

Constructs a new latency query object.
