<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.
