/**
 * SECTION:gstinfo
 * @short_description: Debugging and logging facilities
 * @see_also: #gstreamer-gstconfig, #gstreamer-Gst for command line parameters
 * and environment variables that affect the debugging output.
 *
 * GStreamer's debugging subsystem is an easy way to get information about what
 * the application is doing.  It is not meant for programming errors. Use GLib
 * methods (g_warning and friends) for that.
 *
 * The debugging subsystem works only after GStreamer has been initialized
 * - for example by calling gst_init().
 *
 * The debugging subsystem is used to log informational messages while the
 * application runs.  Each messages has some properties attached to it. Among
 * these properties are the debugging category, the severity (called "level"
 * here) and an optional #GObject it belongs to. Each of these messages is sent
 * to all registered debugging handlers, which then handle the messages.
 * GStreamer attaches a default handler on startup, which outputs requested
 * messages to stderr.
 *
 * Messages are output by using shortcut macros like #GST_DEBUG,
 * #GST_CAT_ERROR_OBJECT or similar. These all expand to calling gst_debug_log()
 * with the right parameters.
 * The only thing a developer will probably want to do is define his own
 * categories. This is easily done with 3 lines. At the top of your code,
 * declare
 * the variables and set the default category.
 * <informalexample>
 * <programlisting>
 * GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_STATIC (my_category);     // define category (statically)
 * &hash;define GST_CAT_DEFAULT my_category     // set as default
 * </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
 * After that you only need to initialize the category.
 * <informalexample>
 * <programlisting>
 * GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_INIT (my_category, "my category",
 *                          0, "This is my very own");
 * </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
 * Initialization must be done before the category is used first.
 * Plugins do this
 * in their plugin_init function, libraries and applications should do that
 * during their initialization.
 *
 * The whole debugging subsystem can be disabled at build time with passing the
 * --disable-gst-debug switch to configure. If this is done, every function,
 * macro and even structs described in this file evaluate to default values or
 * nothing at all.
 * So don't take addresses of these functions or use other tricks.
 * If you must do that for some reason, there is still an option.
 * If the debugging
 * subsystem was compiled out, #GST_DISABLE_GST_DEBUG is defined in
 * &lt;gst/gst.h&gt;,
 * so you can check that before doing your trick.
 * Disabling the debugging subsystem will give you a slight (read: unnoticeable)
 * speed increase and will reduce the size of your compiled code. The GStreamer
 * library itself becomes around 10% smaller.
 *
 * Please note that there are naming conventions for the names of debugging
 * categories. These are explained at GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_INIT().
