3.8 Capabilities🔗ℹ

Capabilities, or caps, are a mechanism to describe the data that can flow or currently flows through a pad. They are a structure describing media types.

procedure

(caps? v) → boolean?

  v : any/c
Returns #t if v is a cap describing media types, #f otherwise.

procedure

(string->caps str) → (or/c caps? #f)

  str : string?
Convert caps from a string representation. Returns #f if caps could not be converted from str.

procedure

(caps->string caps) → string?

  caps : caps?
Convert caps to a string representation.

procedure

(caps-append! caps1 caps2) → void?

  caps1 : caps?
  caps2 : caps?
Appends the structure contained in caps2 to caps1. The structures in caps2 are not copied — they are transferred and caps1 is mutated.

procedure

(caps-any? caps) → boolean?

  caps : caps?
Returns #t if caps represents any media format, #f otherwise.

procedure

(caps-empty? caps) → boolean?

  caps : caps?
Returns #t if caps represents no media formats, #f otherwise.

procedure

(caps-fixed? caps) → boolean?

  caps : caps?
Returns #t if caps is fixed, #f otherwise. Fixed caps describe exactly one format.

procedure

(caps=? caps1 caps2) → boolean?

  caps1 : caps?
  caps2 : caps?
Returns #t if caps1 and caps2 represent the same set of caps, #f otherwise.
