# libpipewire-modules(7)

PipeWire modules

## NAME

libpipewire-modules - PipeWire modules

## DESCRIPTION

A PipeWire module is effectively a PipeWire client running inside [pipewire(1)](/pipewire/1.md) which can host multiple modules. Usually modules are loaded when they are listed in the configuration files. For example the default configuration file loads several modules:

```
context.modules = [
    ...
    # The native communication protocol.
    {   name = libpipewire-module-protocol-native }
    # The profile module. Allows application to access profiler
    # and performance data. It provides an interface that is used
    # by pw-top and pw-profiler.
    {   name = libpipewire-module-profiler }
    # Allows applications to create metadata objects. It creates
    # a factory for Metadata objects.
    {   name = libpipewire-module-metadata }
    # Creates a factory for making devices that run in the
    # context of the PipeWire server.
    {   name = libpipewire-module-spa-device-factory }
    ...
]
```
