NAME

6       pw-jack - Use PipeWire instead of JACK
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pw-jack [options] COMMAND [FILE]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pw-jack  modifies  the  LD_LIBRARY_PATH  environment  variable  so that
13       applications will load PipeWire's reimplementation of the  JACK  client
14       libraries instead of JACK's own libraries. This results in JACK clients
15       being redirected to PipeWire.
16
17       If PipeWire's reimplementation of the JACK client  libraries  has  been
18       installed  as  a system-wide replacement for JACK's own libraries, then
19       the whole system already behaves in that way, in which case pw-jack has
20       no practical effect.

27              fied, a connection is made to the default PipeWire instance.
