4Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack which exposes plugin
5ports to Jack, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack
6application.

9Jalv is a small program which is useful, but also intended to be an appropriate
10test host for plugin development. It runs plugins from the command line with
11no user interaction, is light enough to run in valgrind, and is capable of
12dumping all communication between the plugin and its UI in a human readable
13format.

15To make it simple to test plugins in hosts that use different toolkits, there
16are several Jalv executables: jalv, jalv.gtk, jalv.gtk3, jalv.gtkmm, jalv.qt4,
17and jalv.qt5.
