NAME

       pacmd - Reconfigure a PulseAudio sound server during runtime

SYNOPSIS

       pacmd

       pacmd --help

       pacmd --version

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  can  be  used  to  introspect or reconfigure a running PulseAudio sound server
       during runtime. It connects to the sound server and offers a simple live shell that can be
       used to enter the commands also understood in the default.pa configuration scripts.

       To  exit  the  live  shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command inside the shell will
       tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!

       If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be passed into the  live  shell
       which will process the command and exit.
