gst-inspect

gst-inspect-0.8(1)						   User Commands						gst-inspect-0.8(1)

NAME

       gst-inspect-0.8, gst-inspect - print information about a GStreamer element or plugin

SYNOPSIS

       gst-inspect-0.8 [--print-all] [gst-std-options] [element | plugin]

       gst-inspect [--print-all] [gst-std-options] [element | plugin] [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-inspect-0.8 prints information about available GStreamer plugins, information about a particular plugin, or information about a partic-
       ular element.

       If no element or plugin argument is specified, gst-inspect-0.8 prints a list of all plugins and elements. If an element or plugin  argument
       is  specified,  gst-inspect-0.8	prints	information  about that element or plug-in. If a given argument is valid as either an element or a
       plugin, gst-inspect-0.8 treats the argument as an element, by default.

       gst-inspect is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-inspect-X.X. For example, if both	gst-inspect-0.7  and  gst-
       inspect-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-inspect runs gst-inspect-0.8.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by gst-inspect-0.8 and gst-inspect:

       --print-all     Print all elements. You can also use -a to specify this option.

       gst-std-options Standard options available for use with most GStreamer applications.  See gst-std-options(5) for more information.

       The following options are supported by gst-inspect only:

       --gst-list-mm   List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.

       --gst-mm=string Force  major/minor  version.  This  option  enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
		       default version.

       --print	       Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       element	       Name of an element.

       plugin	       Name of a plugin.
