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.
