fdsrc

Read data from a unix file descriptor.

To generate data, enter some data on the console followed by enter. The above mentioned pipeline should dump data packets to the console.

If the timeout property is set to a value bigger than 0, fdsrc will generate an element message named GstFdSrcTimeout if no data was received in the given timeout.

The message's structure contains one field:

  • guint64 timeout: the timeout in microseconds that expired when waiting for data.

Example launch line

 echo "Hello GStreamer" | gst-launch-1.0 -v fdsrc ! fakesink dump=true

A simple pipeline to read from the standard input and dump the data with a fakesink as hex ascii block.
