NAME

       gst-inspect-1.0 - print info about a GStreamer plugin or element

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.

OPTIONS

       gst-inspect-1.0 accepts the following arguments and options:

       --gst-info-mask=FLAGS
               GStreamer info flags to set (list with --help)

               Allow inspecting only elements that match all the element types  filtered  in  this  slash  (´/´)
               separated list of element types. Those types correspond to what is also called ´klass´ which is a
               string  describing  the  type  of element, like ´Decoder´, ´Audio´, ´Encoder´ etc... This options
               implies that only elements will be printed (not typefind functions or tracers).
