get_compatible_pad

Description:

public Pad? get_compatible_pad (Pad pad, Caps? caps)

Parameters:

this	a Element in which the pad should be found.
pad	the Pad to find a compatible one for.
caps	the Caps to use as a filter.

Returns:

the Pad to which a link can be made, or null if one cannot be found. unref after usage.
