[1mNAME[0m
dh_gstscancodecs - enumerate and classify gstreamer codecs

[1mSYNOPSIS[0m
dh_gstscancodecs [debhelper options]

[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
This program is meant to assist in building a package that provides
codecs, demultiplexers and other media-handling components for
gstreamer-based applications.

dh_gstscancodecs generates substitution variable for debian/control, by
scanning libraries /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/*.so and
/usr/lib/$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH/gstreamer-1.0/*.so.

The generated substitution variables are

gstreamer:Version
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-Version

gstreamer:Elements
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-Elements

gstreamer:Provides
Should be added to Provides

gstreamer:URISources
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-URI-Sources

gstreamer:URISinks
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-URI-Sinks

gstreamer:Encoders
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-Encoders

gstreamer:Decoders
Should be added to XB-GStreamer-Decoders

This control fields will be used by the
/usr/bin/gstreamer-codec-install helper to install required missing
GStreamer elements.

[1mOPTIONS[0m
The standard debhelper options are supported.

[1mSEE ALSO[0m
