NAME

4     sndfile-salvage — salvage audio data from WAV files longer than 4G
5

SYNOPSIS

7     sndfile-salvage toolong.wav fixed64.wav
8

DESCRIPTION

10     Audio files using the WAV file container are inherently limited to 4G of
11     data size fields in the WAV header being stored as unsigned 32bit inte‐
12     gers.  Many applications have trouble with these WAV files that are more
13     the 4G in size.  sndfile-salvage rewrites the WAV file into a W64 file
14     with the same audio content.  This file is overwritten if it already
15     exists.

EXIT STATUS

18     The sndfile-salvage utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
19     occurs.
