NAME
       gst-inspect - print information about a GStreamer element or plugin

SYNOPSIS
       gst-inspect [-a] [--print-all] [--print-plugin-auto-install-info] [--version] [gst-std-options] [element | plugin]

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