NAME

6       pw-jack - Use PipeWire instead of JACK
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pw-jack [options] COMMAND [FILE]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

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

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