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.
