pw-jack [options] COMMAND [ARGUMENTS​.​.​.]

pw-jack modifies the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that applications will load PipeWire's reimplementation of the JACK client libraries instead of JACK's own libraries​. This results in JACK clients being redirected to PipeWire​.

If PipeWire's reimplementation of the JACK client libraries has been installed as a system-wide replacement for JACK's own libraries, then the whole system already behaves in that way, in which case pw-jack has no practical effect​.

-h

Show help​.

-r NAME

The name of the remote instance to connect to​. If left unspecified, a connection is made to the default PipeWire instance​.

-v

Verbose operation​.
