.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
.PP
\fBpw-jack\fP modifies the \fCLD_LIBRARY_PATH\fP 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\&.
.PP
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 \fBpw-jack\fP has no practical effect\&.
