## Description

A GstRTSPToken contains the permissions and roles of the user performing the current request. A token is usually created when a user is authenticated by the GstRTSPAuth object and is then placed as the current token for the current request.

GstRTSPAuth can use the token and its contents to check authorization for various operations by comparing the token to the GstRTSPPermissions of the object.

The accepted values of the token are entirely defined by the GstRTSPAuth object that implements the security policy.

## Functions

### gst_rtsp_token_new_empty ()

    GstRTSPToken *
    gst_rtsp_token_new_empty (void);

Create a new empty Authorization token.

#### Returns

a new empty authorization token.

[transfer full]

### gst_rtsp_token_new ()

    GstRTSPToken *
    gst_rtsp_token_new (const gchar *firstfield,
                        ...);

Create a new Authorization token with the given fieldnames and values. Arguments are given similar to `gst_structure_new()`.

#### Parameters

firstfield | the first fieldname |
... | additional arguments |

#### Returns

a new authorization token.

[transfer full]

### gst_rtsp_token_new_valist ()

    GstRTSPToken *
    gst_rtsp_token_new_valist (const gchar *firstfield,
                               va_list var_args);

Create a new Authorization token with the given fieldnames and values. Arguments are given similar to `gst_structure_new_valist()`.

#### Parameters

firstfield | the first fieldname |
var_args | additional arguments |

#### Returns

a new authorization token.

[transfer full]

### gst_rtsp_token_ref ()

    GstRTSPToken *
    gst_rtsp_token_ref (GstRTSPToken *token);

Increase the refcount of this token.

#### Parameters

token | The token to refcount |

#### Returns

`token` (for convenience when doing assignments).

[transfer full]

### gst_rtsp_token_unref ()

    void
    gst_rtsp_token_unref (GstRTSPToken *token);

Decrease the refcount of an token, freeing it if the refcount reaches 0.

#### Parameters

token | the token to refcount. | [transfer full]

### gst_rtsp_token_get_structure ()

    const GstStructure *
    gst_rtsp_token_get_structure (GstRTSPToken *token);

Access the structure of the token.

#### Parameters

token | The GstRTSPToken. |

#### Returns

The structure of the token. The structure is still owned by the token, which means that you should not free it and that the pointer becomes invalid when you free the token.

MT safe.

[transfer none]

### gst_rtsp_token_writable_structure ()

    GstStructure *
    gst_rtsp_token_writable_structure (GstRTSPToken *token);

Get a writable version of the structure.

#### Parameters

token | The GstRTSPToken. |

#### Returns

The structure of the token. The structure is still owned by the token, which means that you should not free it and that the pointer becomes invalid when you free the token. This function checks if `token` is writable and will never return `NULL`.

MT safe.

[transfer none]

### gst_rtsp_token_get_string ()

    const gchar *
    gst_rtsp_token_get_string (GstRTSPToken *token,
                               const gchar *field);

Get the string value of `field` in `token` .

#### Parameters

token | a GstRTSPToken |
field | a field name |

#### Returns

the string value of `field` in `token` or `NULL` when `field` is not defined in `token` . The string becomes invalid when you free `token` .

[transfer none][nullable]

### gst_rtsp_token_is_allowed ()

    gboolean
    gst_rtsp_token_is_allowed (GstRTSPToken *token,
                               const gchar *field);

Check if `token` has a boolean `field` and if it is set to `TRUE`.

#### Parameters

token | a GstRTSPToken |
field | a field name |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `token` has a boolean field named `field` set to `TRUE`.

## Types and Values

### struct GstRTSPToken

    struct GstRTSPToken {
      GstMiniObject mini_object;
    };

An opaque object used for checking authorisations. It is generated after successful authentication.
