SYNOPSIS

9       auconvert  [-file  <format>]  [-data  <format>]  [-rate  <sample rate>]
10       [-comment <comment>] [-raw <data format> <num tracks>]  [-volume  <per‐
11       cent>|`max'] [-?] [<input file>] [<output file>]

DESCRIPTION

14       The  auconvert  program can be used to convert from one sound file for‐
15       mat, and/or data format to another.  It can also  change  the  comment,
16       sampling  rate,  and volume of a sound file.  Finally, auconvert can be
17       used to convert raw audio data into a sound file.   If  no  input  file
18       name  is given, standard input will be used.  If no output file name is
19       given, the original file will be replaced  by  the  converted  file  or
20       standard out will be used if the input is coming from standard input.

OPTIONS

23       The following options may be used with auconvert:
24
25       -file format
26               The  output  file format.  The -? option will display a list of
27               valid file formats.
28
29       -data format
30               The output data format.  The -? option will display a  list  of
31               valid  data  formats.  Note that each file format may only sup‐
32               port selected data formats.
33
34       -rate sample rate
35               The output sampling rate (in hertz).
36
37       -comment comment
38               The comment to be stored in the output file.
39
40       -volume <percent>|`max'
41               The volume option can be used in two ways.  If the argument  is
42               a  percentage,  the output file volume will be converted to the
43               specified percentage of the input volume.  If the  argument  is
44               the  string  `max', the output file volume will be converted to
45               its maximum level.
46
47       -raw <data format> <num tracks>
48               This option is used to convert raw  audio  data  into  a  sound
49               file.   <data format> is the data format of the raw data.  <num
50               tracks> specifies the number of tracks in the  raw  data.   You
51               must  also  use the -file and -rate options when converting raw
52               data.
53
54       -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and  data
55               formats.
