+Debug PipeWire Config parsing
+-----------------------------
+
+:Manual section: 1
+:Manual group: General Commands Manual
+
+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.
+
+EXAMPLES
+========
+
+**pw-config**
+  List all config files that will be used

+  List all config files that will be used by the PipeWire pulseaudio server.
+
+**pw-config** -n pipewire-pulse.conf list
+  List all config sections used by the PipeWire pulseaudio server
+
+**pw-config** -n jack.conf list context.properties
+  List the context.properties fragments used by the JACK clients
+
+**pw-config** -n jack.conf merge context.properties
+  List the merged context.properties used by the JACK clients
+
+**pw-config** -n pipewire.conf -r merge context.modules
+  List the merged context.modules used by the PipeWire server and reformat
