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.
