## Details

### GstTagList

    typedef struct _GstTagList GstTagList;

Opaque GstTagList data structure.

### enum GstTagMergeMode

    typedef enum {
      GST_TAG_MERGE_UNDEFINED,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_APPEND,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_KEEP,
      GST_TAG_MERGE_KEEP_ALL,
      /* add more */
      GST_TAG_MERGE_COUNT
    } GstTagMergeMode;

The different tag merging modes are basically replace, overwrite and append, but they can be seen from two directions. Given two taglists: (A) the tags already in the element and (B) the ones that are supplied to the element ( e.g. via `gst_tag_setter_merge_tags()` / `gst_tag_setter_add_tags()` or a `GST_EVENT_TAG`), how are these tags merged? In the table below this is shown for the cases that a tag exists in the list (A) or does not exists (!A) and combinations thereof.

Table 1. merge mode

merge mode | A + B | A + !B | !A + B | !A + !B
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
REPLACE_ALL | B | - | B | -
REPLACE | B | A | B | -
APPEND | A, B | A | B | -
PREPEND | B, A | A | B | -
KEEP | A | A | B | -
KEEP_ALL | A | A | - | -

`GST_TAG_MERGE_UNDEFINED` | undefined merge mode
`GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL` | replace all tags (clear list and append)
`GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE` | replace tags
`GST_TAG_MERGE_APPEND` | append tags
`GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND` | prepend tags
`GST_TAG_MERGE_KEEP` | keep existing tags
`GST_TAG_MERGE_KEEP_ALL` | keep all existing tags
`GST_TAG_MERGE_COUNT` | the number of merge modes

### enum GstTagFlag

    typedef enum {
      GST_TAG_FLAG_UNDEFINED,
      GST_TAG_FLAG_META,
      GST_TAG_FLAG_ENCODED,
      GST_TAG_FLAG_DECODED,
      GST_TAG_FLAG_COUNT
    } GstTagFlag;

Extra tag flags used when registering tags.

`GST_TAG_FLAG_UNDEFINED` | undefined flag
`GST_TAG_FLAG_META` | tag is meta data
`GST_TAG_FLAG_ENCODED` | tag is encoded
`GST_TAG_FLAG_DECODED` | tag is decoded
`GST_TAG_FLAG_COUNT` | number of tag flags

                                                             gpointer user_data);

                                                             const GValue *src);

                                                             GType type,
                                                             const gchar *nick,

Registers a new tag type for the use with GStreamer's type system. If a type with that name is already registered, that one is used. The old registration may have used a different type however. So don't rely on your supplied values.

Important: if you do not supply a merge function the implication will be that there can only be one single value for this tag in a tag list and any additional values will silenty be discarded when being added (unless GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE, GST_TAG_MERGE_REPLACE_ALL, or GST_TAG_MERGE_PREPEND is used as merge mode, in which case the new value will replace the old one in the list).

The merge function will be called from `gst_tag_list_copy_value()` when it is required that one or more values for a tag be condensed into one single value. This may happen from `gst_tag_list_get_string()`, `gst_tag_list_get_int()`, `gst_tag_list_get_double()` etc. What will happen exactly in that case depends on how the tag was registered and if a merge function was supplied and if so which one.

Two default merge functions are provided: `gst_tag_merge_use_first()` and `gst_tag_merge_strings_with_comma()`.

`name` : | the name or identifier string
`flag` : | a flag describing the type of tag info
`type` : | the type this data is in

Creates a new taglist and appends the values for the given tags. It expects tag-value pairs like `gst_tag_list_add()`, and a NULL terminator after the last pair. The type of the values is implicit and is documented in the API reference, but can also be queried at runtime with `gst_tag_get_type()`. It is an error to pass a value of a type not matching the tag type into this function. The tag list will make copies of any arguments passed (e.g. strings, buffers).

Copies the first buffer for the given tag in the taglist into the variable pointed to by `value`. Free the buffer with `gst_buffer_unref()` when it is no longer needed.

`list` : | a GstTagList to get the tag from
`tag` : | tag to read out
`value` : | address of a GstBuffer pointer variable to store the result into
