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  plu-
     gin]

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

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

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by gst-inspect:

     -a, --print-all

         Print all elements.



     --print-plugin-auto-install-info

         plugin provides.



     --version

         Print GStreamer version number.

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