NAME

       gst-register-0.8, gst-register - register GStreamer plugins

SYNOPSIS

       gst-register-0.8 [gst-std-options]

       gst-register [gst-std-options] [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-register-0.8  registers  all of the GStreamer plugins on your system. gst-register-0.8 creates a listing of their properties so that on
       startup of GStreamer-based applications, you do not need to load plugins until you need them.

       When run as the root user, gst-register-0.8 creates the Global GStreamer plugin registry which is stored  in  /var/cache/gstreamer-X.X/reg-
       istry.xml, where X.X is the GStreamer major and minor version number.

       When  run  as  a  user  other  than the root user, gst-register-0.8 creates a user registry ~/.gstreamer-X.X/registry.xml, where X.X is the
       GStreamer major and minor version number.

       Programs that uses GStreamer use the user plugin registry if it exists, and use the Global plugin registry if not.

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