+/**
+ * gst_filter_run:
+ * @list: a linked list
+ * @func: the function to execute for each item
+ * @first: flag to stop execution after a successful item
+ * @user_data: user data
+ *
+ * Iterates over the elements in @list, calling @func with the
+ * list item data for each item.  If @func returns TRUE, @data is
+ * prepended to the list of results returned.  If @first is true,
+ * the search is halted after the first result is found.
+ *
+ * Since gst_filter_run() knows nothing about the type of @data, no
+ * reference will be taken (if @data refers to an object) and no copy of
+ * @data wil be made in any other way when prepending @data to the list of
+ * results.
+ *
+ * Returns: the list of results. Free with g_list_free() when no longer needed
+ * (the data contained in the list is a flat copy and does need to be
+ * unreferenced or freed).
