<para>

<command>&cmd;</command> scans the system for information that is useful to

GStreamer developers to help diagnose user problems. It is generally useful

to attach <command>&cmd;</command> output when reporting bugs about GStreamer.

</para>

<para>

Note: The current version of this script scans many directories:

<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, <filename>/usr/local/lib</filename>,

<filename>/home</filename>, <filename>/usr/include</filename>,

<filename>/usr/local/include</filename>, and <filename>/home</filename>

(again) for various GStreamer installations. Depending on your system, you

might not want to do this.

</para>

<para>

Note: <command>&cmd;</command> reports a lot of information about a system.

Some of this information might be considered sensitive. If this is a concern,

review the information before posting to a public forum such as the GStreamer

bug tracking system.
