An OpenMAX component provides access to a standard set of component functions via
its component handle. These functions allow a client to get and set component and port
configuration parameters, get and set the state of the component, send commands to the
component, receive event notifications, allocate buffers, establish communications with a
single component port, and establish communication between two component ports.
OpenMAX通过组件句柄提供一些列标准组件功能提供访问服务。这些功能允许用户获取组件、配置参数、获取组件状态、对组件进行控制、
接受时间通知、建立数据BUFFERS、建立与其它组件通信接口甚至在两个组件接口间通信。
