# giostreamsink

This plugin writes incoming data to a custom GIO GOutputStream.

It can, for example, be used to write a stream to memory with a GMemoryOutputStream or to write to a file with a GFileOutputStream.

## Example code

The following example writes the received data to a GMemoryOutputStream.

    #include <gst/gst.h>
    #include <gio/gio.h>

    ...

    GstElement *sink;
    GMemoryOuputStream *stream;
    // out_data will contain the received data
    guint8 *out_data;

    ...

    stream = G_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STREAM (g_memory_output_stream_new (NULL, 0,
              (GReallocFunc) g_realloc, (GDestroyNotify) g_free));
    sink = gst_element_factory_make ("giostreamsink", "sink");
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (sink), "stream", stream, NULL);

    ...

    // after processing get the written data
    out_data = g_memory_ouput_stream_get_data (G_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STREAM (stream));

    ...
