## 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

### GstTagForeachFunc ()

    void                (*GstTagForeachFunc)                (const GstTagList *list,
                                                             const gchar *tag,
                                                             gpointer user_data);

A function that will be called in `gst_tag_list_foreach()`. The function may not modify the tag list.

`list` : | the GstTagList
`tag` : | a name of a tag in `list`
`user_data` : | user data

### GstTagMergeFunc ()

    void                (*GstTagMergeFunc)                  (GValue *dest,
                                                             const GValue *src);

A function for merging multiple values of a tag used when registering tags.

`dest` : | the destination GValue
`src` : | the source GValue

                                                             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).
