\page page_man_pw-v4l2_1 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|

						|
\par -h
 | 
						|

\par -r NAME

						|
