NAME
     gst-std-options  -  standard  options  available  for   most
     GStreamer applications

DESCRIPTION
     GStreamer standard options  which  are  available  for  most
     GStreamer based applications.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     --help-gst

         Display GStreamer help options.



     --gst-debug-disable

         Disables debugging.



     --gst-debug-help

         Prints a list of available debug  categories  and  their
         default debugging level.



     --gst-debug-level=level

         Sets the threshold for printing debugging   messages.  A
         higher  level  prints more messages. The useful range is
         0-5, the default value is 0.



     --gst-debug-no-color

         GStreamer normally prints debugging messages so that the
         messages are color-coded when printed to a terminal that
         handles  ANSI  escape  sequences.   This  option  causes
         GStreamer  to print messages without color.  Setting the
         GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR  environment  variable  achieves  the
         same thing.



     --gst-debug=string

         Specifies debugging  levels  for  each  category,  where

User Commands                                  gst-std-options(5)



         string  is a colon-separated list of category_name=level
         pairs.  level is in the range 0-5 where 0 shows no  mes-
         sages  and  5  shows all messages. The wildcard * can be
         used to match category names. Use  the  --gst-debug-help
         option to show category names.

         Example: GST_CAT=5:GST_ELEMENT_*=3



     --gst-disable-registry-fork

         Disable the use of fork(2) when scanning the registry.



     --gst-disable-segtrap

         Disables trapping of segmentation faults  during  plugin
         loading.



     --gst-fatal-warnings

         Causes GStreamer to abort if a warning message occurs.



     --gst-plugin-load=plugins

         Preloads the  plugins  specified  in  a  comma-separated
         list.   Another  way to specify plugins to preload is to
         use the environment variable GST_PLUGIN_PATH.



     --gst-plugin-path=path

         Adds directories separated with ':' to the plugin search
         path.



     --gst-plugin-spew

         GStreamer info flags to set Enable  printout  of  errors
         while loading GStreamer plugins.

User Commands                                  gst-std-options(5)



     --gst-version

         Prints the version string of the GStreamer core library.



ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
     variables:

     GST_DEBUG               Comma-separated   list   of    debug
                             categories  and  levels.  Values are
                             the same as  used  with  the  --gst-
                             debug argument.



     GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR      When this  environment  variable  is
                             set,  colored  debug  output is dis-
                             abled.



     GST_REGISTRY            Path of the registry file.   Default
                             is ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry-*.xml.



     GST_PLUGIN_PATH         Specify a  list  of  directories  to
                             scan  for additional plugins.  These
                             take precedence over the system plu-
                             gins.



     GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH  Specifies a list of plugins that are
                             always  loaded  by  default.  If not
                             set, this defaults  to  the  system-
                             installed   path,  and  the  plugins
                             installed in the user's home  direc-
                             tory.



     OIL_CPU_FLAGS           Useful liboil environment  variable.
                             Set  OIL_CPU_FLAGS=0  when debugging
                             tools trip over liboil's CPU  detec-
                             tion.
