cueprint(1)		     General Commands Manual		     cueprint(1)

NAME
     cueprint - report disc and track information from a CUE or TOC file

SYNOPSIS
     cueprint [ { -i format | --input-format=format } { -n number | --track-num-
     ber=number  }  {  -d  template | --disc-template=template } { -t template |
     --track-template=template } ] [ file ... ]
     cueprint -h | --help
     cueprint -V | --version

DESCRIPTION
     cueprint reports disc and track information from CUE and TOC  files,  which
     are typically created by compact disc ripping software.

     By  default,  cueprint reports a default set of disc information, and a de-
     fault set of information for each track on the disc.  With options, the re-
     port can be restricted to a specific track, and  the  presentation  of  the
     disc   and   track   information	can   be  extensively  customized  using
     printf(3)-style format strings (referred to here as  `templates'  to  avoid
     confusion	with  the concept of file format).  All characters in a template
     are reproduced as-is in the output except for conversions (which begin with
     `%') and escapes (which begin with `\').

     If no filenames are specified, cueprint reads from standard input,  and  an
     input  format  option  must be specified.	If one or more filenames is pro-
     vided, but the input format option is not specified, the input format  will
     be  guessed based on each file's suffix (e.g., .cue or .toc).  This heuris-
     tic is case-insensitive.

   Conversions
     A conversion has the form `%[flags][width][.precision]type'.

     flags may be zero or more of the following:
     Character	   Meaning
     -----------------------------------------------------------
     -		   left-justify expansion
     +		   place sign before numbers
     ` ' (space)   place a blank space before a positive number
     0		   pad numbers with zeroes

     width is the minimum field width.	 precision  is	the  maximum  width  for
     strings.  type is a single character which specifies the conversion type --
     apart from %, it is the only mandatory part of the conversion.

     The  available conversion types are presented in the table below; disc con-
     version types are presented in the left half of the table, and  track  con-
     version  types  in  the right half.  Disc template expansion characters are
     valid for both disc and track templates.
     Character	 Conversion	    Character	Conversion
     ----------------------------------------------------------------
     A		 album arranger     a		track arranger
     C		 album composer     c		track composer
     G		 album genre	    g		track genre
				    i		track ISRC
     M		 album message	    m		track message
     N		 number of tracks   n		track number
     P		 album performer    p		track performer
     S		 album songwriter
     T		 album title	    t		track title
     U		 album UPC/EAN	    u		track ISRC (CD-TEXT)

     Any other character used as a conversion type expands to itself.	This  is
     how a literal percent sign is placed in the template; i.e., `%%' expands to
     `%'.

   Escapes
     The  recognized  escapes are all single characters, and listed in the table
     below.
     Escape Sequence   Expansion
     ----------------------------------
     \a 	       alert (bell)
     \b 	       backspace
     \f 	       formfeed
     \n 	       newline
     \r 	       carriage return
     \t 	       horizontal tab
     \v 	       vertical tab
     \0 	       null

     Any other character used after the `\' in an escape sequence expands to it-
     self.  This is how a literal escape character is placed  in  the  template;
     i.e., `\\' expands to `\'.

OPTIONS
     -d template, --disc-template=template
	    set disc template (see Conversions )

     -h, --help
	    displays a usage message and exits.

     -i format, --input-format=format
	    sets  the expected format of the input file(s) to format, which must
	    be either cue or toc.

     -n number, --track-number=number
	    only print track information for a single track.  The default is  to
	    print information for all tracks.

     -t template, --track-template=template
	    set track template (see Conversions )

     -V ,  --version
	    displays version information and exits.

EXIT STATUS
     cueprint exits with status zero if it successfully reports information from
     each input file, and nonzero if there were problems.

EXAMPLES
     To  display  disc	and  track  information  (using the default template for
     both):

     % cueprint album.cue

     To print the number of tracks in a CUE file:

     % cueprint -d '%N\n' album.cue
