GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 133495
[docs/man] man pages are not in sync with tools
Last modified: 2006-03-22 09:04:29 UTC
e.g. gst-register has options that are not in the man-page and the man page have old options (degugging stuff) documented that does not exist in this form anymore in the tools. This applies to other tools as well (gst-launch -t -T) Further please add to the docs of : gst-register that the default location of the registry is under $prefix/var/cache/gstreamer/registry.xml gst-compprep that the default location of the completion is under $prefix/var/cache/gstreamer/compreg.xml Both entries should go to a FILES section.
Created attachment 35855 [details] docbook man pages for all tools from Brian Cameron (Sun) he posted them on gst-devel ML on 17 Sep 2004 but as they're in docbook and not std nroff format, they were never commited letting them in docbook format would require docbook2man/db2man to transform them
Thomas, do you mind requiring docbook stuff in the build, or would you prefer keeping it as nroff?
This is pretty much obsolete, isn't it? The man pages have had some updating AFAIK (and a good bunch have been removed along with some of the tools). A FILES section has been added to the gst-launch man page now as well. Please re-open if there's still something that applies to 0.10 or you've got updated docbook man pages available (better check with Thomas first though if that entails any work).
Tim, A Costa reporter three typos in the gst-launch manpage, two of which are fixed, the third one being: -Sets the requested property in capabilites. The name is an alphanumeric value +Sets the requested property in capabilities. The name is an alphanumeric value :%s/capabilites/capabilities But perhaps I forwarded that in another bug.
(Hmm for some reason, this was in bug 133494, but I didn't mention that capabilities typo.)
Thanks, fixed as well now. Must have missed it.
