NAME

       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
           Show help.

       --version
           Show version information.

       -n | --name=NAME
           Config Name (default 'pipewire.conf')

       -p | --prefix=PREFIX
           Config Prefix (default '')

       -L | --no-newline
           Omit newlines after values

       -r | --recurse
           Reformat config sections recursively

       -N | --no-colors
           Disable color output

       -C | -color[=WHEN]
           whether to enable color support. WHEN is never, always, or auto

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
           List all config files that will be used

       pw-config -n pipewire-pulse.conf
           List all config files that will be used by the PipeWire pulseaudio server.

       pw-config -n pipewire-pulse.conf list
           List all config sections used by the PipeWire pulseaudio server

       pw-config -n jack.conf list context.properties
           List the context.properties fragments used by the JACK clients

       pw-config -n jack.conf merge context.properties
           List the merged context.properties used by the JACK clients

       pw-config -n pipewire.conf -r merge context.modules
           List the merged context.modules used by the PipeWire server and reformat
