NAME

SYNOPSIS

       gst-inspect-1.0 [OPTION...] [PLUGIN|ELEMENT]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-inspect-1.0  is  a  tool  that  prints out information on available GStreamer plugins,
       information about a particular plugin, or information about a  particular  element.   When
       executed  with  no  PLUGIN  or  ELEMENT argument, gst-inspect-1.0 will print a list of all
       plugins and elements together with a summary.  When executed  with  a  PLUGIN  or  ELEMENT
       argument, gst-inspect-1.0 will print information about that plug-in or element.
