pw-v4l2(1)                  General Commands Manual                 pw-v4l2(1)

NAME
       pw-v4l2 - Use PipeWire instead of V4L2


SYNOPSIS
       pw-v4l2 [options] COMMAND [ARGUMENTS...]


DESCRIPTION
       pw-v4l2 runs a command using a compatibility layer that maps PipeWire
       video devices to be visible to applications using V4L2.


       This is implemented by preloading a shared library via LD_PRELOAD,
       which translates library calls that try to access V4L2 devices.


OPTIONS
       -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.

EXAMPLES
       pw-v4l2 v4l2-ctl --list-devices
