/**
 * SECTION:gstpad
 * @short_description: Object contained by elements that allows links to
 *                     other elements
 * @see_also: #GstPadTemplate, #GstElement, #GstEvent
 *
 * A #GstElement is linked to other elements via "pads", which are extremely
 * light-weight generic link points.
 * After two pads are retrieved from an element with gst_element_get_pad(),
 * the pads can be link with gst_pad_link(). (For quick links,
 * you can also use gst_element_link(), which will make the obvious
 * link for you if it's straightforward.)
 *
 * Pads are typically created from a #GstPadTemplate with
 * gst_pad_new_from_template().
 *
 * Pads have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type they are
 * capable of dealing with.  gst_pad_get_caps() and gst_pad_set_caps() are
 * used to manipulate the caps of the pads.
 * Pads created from a pad template cannot set capabilities that are
 * incompatible with the pad template capabilities.
 *
 * Pads without pad templates can be created with gst_pad_new(),
 * which takes a direction and a name as an argument.  If the name is NULL,
 * then a guaranteed unique name will be assigned to it.
 *
 * gst_pad_get_parent() will retrieve the #GstElement that owns the pad.
 *
 * A #GstElement creating a pad will typically use the various
 * gst_pad_set_*_function() calls to register callbacks for various events
 * on the pads.
 *
 * GstElements will use gst_pad_push() and gst_pad_pull_range() to push out
 * or pull in a buffer.
 *
 * To send a #GstEvent on a pad, use gst_pad_send_event() and
 * gst_pad_push_event().
