/**
 * SECTION:gstmeta
 * @title: GstMeta
 * @short_description: Buffer metadata
 *
 * The #GstMeta structure should be included as the first member of a #GstBuffer
 * metadata structure. The structure defines the API of the metadata and should
 * be accessible to all elements using the metadata.
 *
 * A metadata API is registered with gst_meta_api_type_register() which takes a
 * name for the metadata API and some tags associated with the metadata.
 * With gst_meta_api_type_has_tag() one can check if a certain metadata API
 * contains a given tag.
 *
 * Multiple implementations of a metadata API can be registered.
 * To implement a metadata API, gst_meta_register() should be used. This
 * function takes all parameters needed to create, free and transform metadata
 * along with the size of the metadata. The function returns a #GstMetaInfo
 * structure that contains the information for the implementation of the API.
 *
 * A specific implementation can be retrieved by name with gst_meta_get_info().
 *
 * See #GstBuffer for how the metadata can be added, retrieved and removed from
 * buffers.
