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.
