      gboolean       mode_record;
      gboolean       append;
      GstRTSPRange   interleaved;

      /* multicast specific */
      guint  ttl;

      /* UDP specific */
      GstRTSPRange   port;
      GstRTSPRange   client_port;
      GstRTSPRange   server_port;
      /* RTP specific */
      guint          ssrc;
    };

A structure holding the RTSP transport values.

GstRTSPTransMode `trans`; | the transport mode
GstRTSPProfile `profile`; | the tansport profile
GstRTSPLowerTrans `lower_transport`; | the lower transport
gchar *`destination`; | the destination ip/hostname
gchar *`source`; | the source ip/hostname
guint `layers`; | the number of layers
gboolean `mode_play`; | if play mode was selected
gboolean `mode_record`; | if record mode was selected
gboolean `append`; | is append mode was selected
GstRTSPRange `interleaved`; | the interleave range
guint `ttl`; | the time to live for multicast UDP
GstRTSPRange `port`; | the port pair for multicast sessions
GstRTSPRange `client_port`; | the client port pair for receiving data
GstRTSPRange `server_port`; | the server port pair for receiving data
guint `ssrc`; | the ssrc that the sender/receiver will use

### gst_rtsp_transport_new ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_new              (GstRTSPTransport **transport);

Allocate a new initialized GstRTSPTransport. Use `gst_rtsp_transport_free()` after usage.

`transport` : | location to hold the new GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a GstRTSPResult.

### gst_rtsp_transport_init ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_init             (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Initialize `transport` so that it can be used.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_parse ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_parse            (const gchar *str,
                                                             GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Parse the RTSP transport string `str` into `transport`.

`str` : | a transport string
`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a GstRTSPResult.

### gst_rtsp_transport_as_text ()

    gchar *              gst_rtsp_transport_as_text         (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Convert `transport` into a string that can be used to signal the transport in an RTSP SETUP response.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | a string describing the RTSP transport or NULL when the transport is invalid.

### gst_rtsp_transport_get_mime ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_get_mime         (GstRTSPTransMode trans,
                                                             const gchar **mime);

Get the mime type of the transport mode `trans`. This mime type is typically used to generate GstCaps on buffers.

`trans` : | a GstRTSPTransMode
`mime` : | location to hold the result
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_get_manager ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_get_manager      (GstRTSPTransMode trans,
                                                             const gchar **manager,

Get the GStreamer element that can handle the buffers transported over `trans`.

It is possible that there are several managers available, use `option` to selected one.

`manager` will contain an element name or NULL when no manager is needed/available for `trans`.

`trans` : | a GstRTSPTransMode
`manager` : | location to hold the result
`option` : | option index.
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.

### gst_rtsp_transport_free ()

    GstRTSPResult       gst_rtsp_transport_free             (GstRTSPTransport *transport);

Free the memory used by `transport`.

`transport` : | a GstRTSPTransport
Returns : | GST_RTSP_OK.
