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).
- 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.
