/**
 * SECTION:gstmemory
 * @short_description: refcounted wrapper for memory blocks
 * @see_also: #GstBuffer
 *
 * GstMemory is a lightweight refcounted object that wraps a region of memory.
 * They are typically used to manage the data of a #GstBuffer.
 *
 * A GstMemory object has an allocated region of memory of maxsize. The maximum
 * size does not change during the lifetime of the memory object. The memory
 * also has an offset and size property that specifies the valid range of memory
 * in the allocated region.
 *
 * Memory is usually created by allocators with a gst_allocator_alloc()
 * method call. When NULL is used as the allocator, the default allocator will
 * be used.
 *
 * New allocators can be registered with gst_allocator_register().
 * Allocators are identified by name and can be retrieved with
 * gst_allocator_find(). gst_allocator_set_default() can be used to change the
 * default allocator.
 *
 * New memory can be created with gst_memory_new_wrapped() that wraps the memory
 * allocated elsewhere.
 *
 * Refcounting of the memory block is performed with gst_memory_ref() and
 * gst_memory_unref().
 *
 * The size of the memory can be retrieved and changed with
 * gst_memory_get_sizes() and gst_memory_resize() respectively.
 *
 * Getting access to the data of the memory is performed with gst_memory_map().
 * The call will return a pointer to offset bytes into the region of memory.
 * After the memory access is completed, gst_memory_unmap() should be called.
 *
 * Memory can be copied with gst_memory_copy(), which will return a writable
 * copy. gst_memory_share() will create a new memory block that shares the
 * memory with an existing memory block at a custom offset and with a custom
 * size.
 *
 * Memory can be efficiently merged when gst_memory_is_span() returns TRUE.
 *
