* Caps (capabilities) are lightweight objects describing media types.
* They are composed of an array of {@link Structure}.
*
* Caps are exposed on {@link PadTemplate} to describe all possible types a
* given pad can handle. They are also stored in the {@link Registry} along with
* a description of the {@link Element}.
*
* Caps are exposed on the element pads using the {@link Pad#getCaps} method.
* This method describes the possible types that the pad can handle or produce at runtime.
*
* Caps are also attached to buffers to describe the content of the data
* pointed to by the buffer with {@link Buffer#setCaps}. Caps attached to
* a {@link Buffer} allow for format negotiation upstream and downstream.
*
* A Caps can be constructed with the following code fragment:
*
*
* Caps caps = Caps.fromString("video/x-raw-rgb, bpp=32, depth=24, width=640, height=480");
*
*
* A Caps is fixed when it has no properties with ranges or lists. Use
* {@link #isFixed} to test for fixed caps. Only fixed caps can be
* set on a {@link Pad} or {@link Buffer}.
*
* Various methods exist to work with the media types such as subtracting
* or intersecting.
