auconvert - perform various conversion operations on sound files
auconvert
[-file <format>] [-data <format>] [-rate <sample rate>] [-comment <comment>] [-raw <data format>
<num tracks>] [-volume <percent>|`max'] [-?] [<input file>] [<output file>]
The
auconvert program can be used to convert from one sound file format, and/or
data format to another. It can also change the comment, sampling rate,
and volume of a sound file. Finally, auconvert can be used to convert raw
audio data into a sound file. If no input file name is given, standard
input will be used. If no output file name is given, the original file
will be replaced by the converted file or standard out will be used if
the input is coming from standard input.
The following options may
be used with auconvert:
- -file format
- The output file format. The -? option
will display a list of valid file formats.
- -data format
- The output data format.
The -? option will display a list of valid data formats. Note that each
file format may only support selected data formats.
- -rate sample rate
- The
output sampling rate (in hertz).
- -comment comment
- The comment to be stored
in the output file.
- -volume <percent>|`max'
- The volume option can be used in two
ways. If the argument is a percentage, the output file volume will be converted
to the specified percentage of the input volume. If the argument is the
string `max', the output file volume will be converted to its maximum level.
- -raw <data format> <num tracks>
- This option is used to convert raw audio data
into a sound file. <data format> is the data format of the raw data. <num tracks>
specifies the number of tracks in the raw data. You must also use the -file
and -rate options when converting raw data.
- -?
- Displays a usage message and
a list of supported file and data formats.
