.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBpw\-jack\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fICOMMAND\fP [\fIFILE\fP]
.fi
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBpw\-jack\fP modifies the \fBLD_LIBRARY_PATH\fP environment
variable so that applications will load PipeWire\(aqs reimplementation
of the JACK client libraries instead of JACK\(aqs own
libraries. This results in JACK clients being redirected to
PipeWire.
.sp
If PipeWire\(aqs reimplementation of the JACK client libraries
has been installed as a system\-wide replacement for JACK\(aqs
own libraries, then the whole system already behaves in that way,
in which case \fBpw\-jack\fP has no practical effect.
