NAME

       auconvert - perform various conversion operations on sound files

SYNOPSIS

       auconvert   [-file   <format>]   [-data   <format>]  [-rate  <sample rate>]  [-comment  <comment>]  [-raw
       <data format> <num tracks>] [-volume <percent>|`max'] [-?] [<input file>] [<output file>]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       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.

       -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and data formats.
