pw-dot

Create .dot files of the PipeWire graph. See also: dot, for rendering graph. More information: https://docs.pipewire.org/page_man_pw-dot_1.html.

• Generate a graph to pw.dot file:

pw-dot

• Specify an output file, showing all object types:

pw-dot --output {{path/to/file.dot}} --all

• Print .dot graph to stdout, showing all object properties:

pw-dot --output - --detail

• Generate a graph from a remote instance, showing only linked objects:

pw-dot --remote {{remote_name}} --smart

• Lay the graph from left to right, instead of dot's default top to bottom:

pw-dot --lr

• Lay the graph using 90-degree angles in edges:

pw-dot --90
