33 <p>This tool can be used to introspect or reconfigure a running
34 PulseAudio sound server during runtime. It connects to the sound
35 server and offers a simple live shell that can be used to enter
36 the commands also understood in the <file>default.pa</file>
37 configuration scripts.</p>
38
39 <p>To exit the live shell, use ctrl+d. Note that the 'exit' command
40 inside the shell will tell the PulseAudio daemon itself to shutdown!</p>
41
42 <p>If any arguments are passed on the command line, they will be
43 passed into the live shell which will process the command and exit.</p>
