## Signal Details

### The `“add”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstMultiUDPSink *gstmultiudpsink,
                   gchar           *host,
                   gint             port,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Add a client with destination `host` and `port` to the list of clients. When the same host/port pair is added multiple times, the send-duplicates property defines if the packets are sent multiple times to the same host/port pair or not.

When a host/port pair is added multiple times, an equal amount of remove calls must be performed to actually remove the host/port pair from the list of destinations.

#### Parameters

gstmultiudpsink | the sink on which the signal is emitted |
host | the hostname/IP address of the client to add |
port | the port of the client to add |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Action

### The `“clear”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstMultiUDPSink *gstmultiudpsink,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Clear the list of clients.

Signal emitted when a new client is added to the list of clients.

#### Parameters

gstmultiudpsink | the sink emitting the signal |
host | the hostname/IP address of the added client |
port | the port of the added client |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

                   gchar           *host,
                   gint             port,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Signal emitted when a client is removed from the list of clients.

#### Parameters

gstmultiudpsink | the sink emitting the signal |
host | the hostname/IP address of the removed client |
port | the port of the removed client |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

### The `“get-stats”` signal

    GstStructure*
    user_function (GstMultiUDPSink *gstmultiudpsink,
                   gchar           *host,
                   gint             port,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Get the statistics of the client with destination `host` and `port` .

#### Parameters

gstmultiudpsink | the sink on which the signal is emitted |
host | the hostname/IP address of the client to get stats on |
port | the port of the client to get stats on |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

a GstStructure: bytes_sent, packets_sent, connect_time (in epoch seconds), disconnect_time (in epoch seconds)

Flags: Action

### The `“remove”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstMultiUDPSink *gstmultiudpsink,
                   gchar           *host,
                   gint             port,
                   gpointer         user_data)

#### Parameters

gstmultiudpsink | the sink on which the signal is emitted |
host | the hostname/IP address of the client to remove |
port | the port of the client to remove |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Action
