+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+PipeWire is a service that facilitates sharing of multimedia content
+between devices and applications.
+
+On startup, the daemon reads a main configuration file to configure
+itself. It executes a series of commands listed in the config
+file.
+
+The config files are loaded in the order listed in the SYNOPSIS_.
+The environment variables ``PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_DIR``, ``PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_PREFIX``
+and ``PIPEWIRE_CONFIG_NAME`` can be used to specify an alternative config
+directory, subdirectory and file respectively.
+
+Next to the configuration file can be a directory with the same name as
+the file with a ``.d/`` suffix. All directories in the SYNOPSIS_ directory
+search paths are traversed in the listed order and the contents of the
+``*.conf`` files inside them are appended to the main configuration file
+as overrides. Object sections are merged and array sections are appended.
+
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
+=========================
+
+The configuration file format is grouped into sections. A section
+is either a dictionary, {}, or an array, []. Dictionary and array
+entries are separated by whitespace and may be simple value
+assignment, an array or a dictionary. For example:
+
+name = value # simple assignment
+
+name = { key1 = value1 key2 = value2 } # a dictionary with two
+entries
+
+name = [ value1 value2 ] # an array with two entries
+
+name = [ { k = v1 } { k = v2 } ] # an array of dictionaries
+
+
+The configuration files can be expressed in full JSON syntax but for ease
+of use, a relaxed format may be used where:
+
+ * ``:`` to delimit keys and values can be substuted by ``=`` or a space.
+ * ``"`` around keys and string can be omited as long as no special characters
+         are used in the strings.
+ * ``,`` to separate objects can be replaced with a whitespace character.
+ * ``#`` can be used to start a comment until the line end
+
+
+CONFIGURATION FILE SECTIONS
+===========================
+
+context.properties
+  Dictionary. These properties configure the PipeWire instance.
+
+context.spa-libs
+  Dictionary. Maps plugin features with globs to a spa library.
+
+context.modules
+  Array of dictionaries. Each entry in the array is a dictionary with the *name* of the module to load,
+  including optional *args* and *flags*. Most modules support being loaded
+  multiple times.
+
+context.objects
+  Array of dictionaries. Each entry in the array is a dictionary containing the *factory* to create an
+  object from and optional extra arguments specific to that factory.
+
+context.exec
+  Array of dictionaries. Each entry in the array is dictionary containing the *path* of a program to
+  execute on startup and optional *args*.
+
+  This array used to contain an entry to start the session manager but this mode
+  of operation has since been demoted to development aid. Avoid starting a
+  session manager in this way in production environment.
