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 uncompressed wav or raw
13       form using the options provided. Unless overridden with the -o switch,
14       the resulting filename will be source-name.wav (or source-name.raw when
15       -r used). Multiple WavPack input files may be specified resulting in
16       multiple output files, and in that case -o may be used to specify an
17       alternate target directory.  Stdin and stdout may be specified with
18       “-”. WavPack files are generally created with the wavpack program.
19

OPTIONS

21       -b
22           blindly decode all stream blocks and ignore length info
23
24       -c
25           do not decode audio but instead just extract cuesheet stored in
26           APEv2 tag to stdout (equivalent to -x “cuesheet”)
27
28       -cc
29           extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to source-name.cue file in
30           same directory as decoded audio file (equivalent to -xx
31           “cuesheet=%a.cue”)
32
33       -d
34           delete source file if successful (use with caution!)
35
36       --help
37           display extended help
38
39       -i
40           ignore .wvc file (forces hybrid lossy decompression)
41
42       -m
43           calculate and display MD5 signature; verify if lossless
44
45       --no-utf8-convert
46           leave extracted text tags in UTF-8 encoding during extraction or
47           display
48
49       -q
50           quiet (keep console output to a minimum)
51
52       -r
53           force raw audio decode by skipping RIFF headers & trailers, results
54           in source-name.raw
55
56       -s
57           do not decode audio but simply display summary information about
58           WavPack file to stdout
59
60       -ss
61           do not decode audio but simply display summary and tag information
62           about WavPack file to stdout
63
64        --skip=[sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]
65           start decoding at specified sample or time index
66
67       -t
68           copy input file´s time stamp to output file(s)
69
70        --until=[+|-][sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]
71           stop decoding at specified sample or time index, specifying a +
72           causes sample/time to be relative to --skip point, specifying a -
73           causes sample/time to be relative to EOF
74
75       -v
76           verify source data only (no output file created)
77
78       -w
79           regenerate fresh wav header (ingore RIFF data stored in WavPack
80           file)
81
82       -x “Field”
83           do not decode audio but instead just extract the specified tag
84           field to stdout
85
86       -xx “Field[=file]”
87           extract the specified tag field to named file in same directory as
88           decoded audio file; optional filename specification may contain %a
89           which is replaced with the audio file base name, %t replaced with
90           the tag field name (note: comes from data for binary tags) and %e
91           replaced with the extension from the binary tag source file (or
92           “txt” for text tag).
93
94       -y
95           yes to overwrite warning (use with caution!)
