/**

 *
 * DeepStream Metadata is attached to a buffer with gst_buffer_add_nvds_meta().
 * Its metadata type is set to @ref NVDS_BATCH_GST_META.
 *
 * Multiple groups of metadata may be attached by different elements.
 * gst_buffer_get_nvds_meta() gets the last added @ref NvDsMeta.
 *
 * The NvDsMeta::meta_data structure member must be cast
 * to a meaningful structure pointer based on the @a meta_type.
 * For example, for @a meta_type = NVDS_BATCH_GST_META,
 * @a meta_data must be cast as `(NvDsBatchMeta *)`.
