AUCONVERT(1)		     General Commands Manual		    AUCONVERT(1)

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 con-
     vert 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  speci-
	     fied 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 for-
	     mats.
