GstUri

GstUri — URI parsing and manipulation.

Functions

Types and Values

  GstUri

Includes

#include <gst/gst.h>

Description

A GstUri object can be used to parse and split a URI string into its constituant parts. Two GstUri objects can be joined to make a new GstUri using the algorithm described in RFC3986.
