NAME

6       wvunpack - decodes wavpack encoded files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wvunpack [-options] INFILE... [-o OUTFILE]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       wvunpack decodes WavPack files back to their original uncompressed form
13       using the options provided. Unless overridden with the -o switch, the
14       output filename will be identical to the source filename but with the
15       original file extension replacing WavPack's “.wv” extension. It is also
16       possible to output raw audio without headers (see --raw option).
17       Multiple WavPack input files may be specified resulting in multiple
18       output files, and in that case -o may be used to specify an alternate
19       target directory.  Stdin and stdout may be specified with “-”. It is
20       also possible to export to one of the alternate file formats listed
21       below, but in that case the information in the original headers and
22       trailers will be lost (even if the alternate format is the same as the
23       source format). WavPack files are generally created with the wavpack
24       program.
25

41       -b
42           blindly decode all stream blocks and ignore length info
43
44       -c
45           do not decode audio but instead just extract cuesheet stored in
46           APEv2 tag to stdout (equivalent to -x “cuesheet”)
47
48       -cc
49           extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to source-name.cue file in
50           same directory as decoded audio file (equivalent to -xx

52
53       --caf-be, --caf-le
54           force output to big-endian or little-endian Core Audio, extension
55           “.caf”
56
57       -d
58           delete source file if successful (use with caution!)
59
60       --dff, --dsdiff
61           force output to Philips DSDIFF, DSD audio source only, extension
62           “.dff”
63
64       --dsf
65           force output to Sony DSF, DSD audio source only, extension “.dsf”
66
67       -f
68           do not decode audio but simply display summary information about
69           WavPack file to stdout in a machine-parsable format (see
70           doc/wavpack_doc.html or cli/wvunpack.c in repository for format
71           details)
72
73       --help
74           display extended help
75
76       -i
77           ignore .wvc file (forces hybrid lossy decompression)
78
79       -m
80           calculate and display MD5 signature; verify if lossless
81
82       -n
83           no audio decoding (use with -xx to extract tags only)
84
85       --no-utf8-convert
86           leave extracted text tags in UTF-8 encoding during extraction or
87           display
88
89       -o OUTFILE
90           specify output filename (only if single source file) or target

95
96       -r, --raw
97           force raw PCM or DSD audio decode by skipping headers & trailers,
98           results in source-name.raw
99
100       -s
101           do not decode audio but simply display summary information about
102           WavPack file to stdout
103
104       -ss
105           do not decode audio but simply display summary and tag information
106           about WavPack file to stdout
107
108        --skip=[-][sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]
109           start decoding at specified sample or time index, specifying a -
