NAME¶

pw-config - pw-config
Debug PipeWire Config parsing

SYNOPSIS¶

pw-config [options] paths

pw-config [options] list [SECTION]

pw-config [options] merge SECTION

DESCRIPTION¶

List config paths and config sections and display the parsed output.

This tool can be used to get an overview of the config file that will be parsed by the PipeWire server and clients.

COMMON OPTIONS¶

-h | --help

--version

-n | --name=NAME

-p | --prefix=PREFIX

-L | --no-newline

-r | --recurse

-N | --no-colors

-C | -color[=WHEN]

LISTING PATHS¶

Specify the paths command. It will display all the config files that will be parsed and in what order.

LISTING CONFIG SECTIONS¶

Specify the list command with an optional SECTION to list the configuration fragments used for SECTION. Without a SECTION, all sections will be listed.

Use the -r options to reformat the sections.

MERGING A CONFIG SECTION¶

With the merge option and a SECTION, pw-config will merge all config files into a merged config section and dump the results. This will be the section used by the client or server.

Use the -r options to reformat the sections.

EXAMPLES¶

pw-config

pw-config -n pipewire-pulse.conf

pw-config -n pipewire-pulse.conf list

pw-config -n jack.conf list context.properties

pw-config -n jack.conf merge context.properties

pw-config -n pipewire.conf -r merge context.modules
