The * buffer headers in the connection queue may contain pixel data (the cmd field is * zero) or an event (the cmd field is non-zero). In general, pixel data buffer * headers need to be passed on, while event buffer headers are released. In the * case of the format changed event, mmal_connection_event_format_changed() can be * called before the event is released. * * Other, specialized use cases may also be implemented, such as getting and * immediately releasing buffer headers from the connection queue in order to * prevent their propagation. This could be used to drop out video, for example. * * \section TunnellingConnections Tunnelling connections * If the \ref MMAL_CONNECTION_FLAG_TUNNELLING flag is set when the connection is * created, MMAL tunneling will be used. This automates the passing of the buffer * headers between the output port and input port, and back again. It will also do * this as efficiently as possible, avoiding trips between the ARM and the VideoCore * if both components are implemented on the VideoCore. The consequence of this is * that there is no client callback made as buffer headers get transferred. * * The client can still monitor the control port of a component (usually a sink * component, such as video_render) for the end of stream, in order to know when to * dismantle the connection. * * \section ConnectionClientCallback Client callback * When not using tunnelling, the client callback function is called each time a * buffer arrives from a port (either input or output). * * \note The callback is made on a different thread from the one used by the * client to set up the connection, so care must be taken with thread safety. * One option is to raise a signal to the main client thread that queue processing * needs to be done, another is for the callback to perform the queue processing * itself. * * The client can also store an opaque pointer in the connection object, which is * never used by the MMAL code and is only meaningful to the client. * * @{ */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif /** \name Connection flags * \anchor connectionflags * The following flags describe the properties of the connection. */ /* @{ */ /** The connection is tunnelled.
