## Details

### enum GstRTSPTransMode

    typedef enum {
      GST_RTSP_TRANS_UNKNOWN =  0,
      GST_RTSP_TRANS_RTP     = (1 << 0),
      GST_RTSP_TRANS_RDT     = (1 << 1)
    } GstRTSPTransMode;

The transfer mode to use.

`GST_RTSP_TRANS_UNKNOWN` | invalid tansport mode
`GST_RTSP_TRANS_RTP` | transfer RTP data
`GST_RTSP_TRANS_RDT` | transfer RDT (RealMedia) data

### enum GstRTSPProfile

    typedef enum {
      GST_RTSP_PROFILE_UNKNOWN =  0,
      GST_RTSP_PROFILE_AVP     = (1 << 0),
      GST_RTSP_PROFILE_SAVP    = (1 << 1)
    } GstRTSPProfile;

The transfer profile to use.

`GST_RTSP_PROFILE_UNKNOWN` | invalid profile
`GST_RTSP_PROFILE_AVP` | the Audio/Visual profile
`GST_RTSP_PROFILE_SAVP` | the secure Audio/Visual profile

### enum GstRTSPLowerTrans

    typedef enum {
      GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UNKNOWN   = 0,
      GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UDP       = (1 << 0),
      GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UDP_MCAST = (1 << 1),
      GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_TCP       = (1 << 2)
    } GstRTSPLowerTrans;

The different transport methods.

`GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UNKNOWN` | invalid transport flag
`GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UDP` | stream data over UDP
`GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_UDP_MCAST` | stream data over UDP multicast
`GST_RTSP_LOWER_TRANS_TCP` | stream data over TCP

### GstRTSPTransport

    typedef struct {
    } GstRTSPTransport;

A structure holding the RTSP transport values.

### gst_rtsp_transport_new ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_new              (GstRTSPTransport **transport);

Allocate a new initialized GstRTSPTransport. Use `gst_rtsp_transport_free()` after usage.

`transport` : | location to hold the new GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a GstRTSPResult.

### gst_rtsp_transport_init ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_init             (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Initialize `transport` so that it can be used.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_parse ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_parse            (const gchar *str,
                                                             GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Parse the RTSP transport string `str` into `transport`.

`str` : | a transport string
`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a GstRTSPResult.

### gst_rtsp_transport_as_text ()

    gchar*              gst_rtsp_transport_as_text          (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Convert `transport` into a string that can be used to signal the transport in an RTSP SETUP response.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a string describing the RTSP transport or NULL when the transport is invalid.

### gst_rtsp_transport_get_mime ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_get_mime         (GstRTSPTransMode trans,
                                                             const gchar **mime);

Get the mime type of the transport mode `trans`. This mime type is typically used to generate GstCaps on buffers.

`trans` : | a GstRTSPTransMode
`mime` : | location to hold the result
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_get_manager ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_get_manager      (GstRTSPTransMode trans,
                                                             const gchar **manager,
                                                             guint option);

Get the GStreamer element that can handle the buffers transported over `trans`.

It is possible that there are several managers available, use `option` to selected one.

`manager` will contain an element name or NULL when no manager is needed/available for `trans`.

`trans` : | a GstRTSPTransMode
`manager` : | location to hold the result
`option` : | option index.
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_free ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_free             (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Free the memory used by `transport`.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.
