SoXI(1) 			 Sound eXchange 			 SoXI(1)

NAME
     SoXI - Sound eXchange Information, display sound file metadata

SYNOPSIS
     soxi [-V[level]] [-T] [-t|-r|-c|-s|-d|-D|-b|-B|-p|-e|-a] infile1 ...

DESCRIPTION
     Displays  information from the header of a given audio file or files.  Sup-
     ported audio file types are listed and  described	in  soxformat(7).   Note
     however,  that  soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a self-
     describing header.

     By default, as much information as is available is shown.	An option may be
     given to select just a single piece of information (perhaps for  use  in  a
     script or batch-file).

OPTIONS
     -V     Set verbosity. See sox(1) for details.

     -T     Used  with multiple files; changes the behaviour of -s, -d and -D to
	    display the total across all given files.  Note that when used  with
	    -s with files with different sampling rates, this is of questionable
	    value.

     -t     Show detected file-type.

     -r     Show sample-rate.

     -c     Show number of channels.

     -s     Show number of samples (0 if unavailable).

     -d     Show  duration  in	hours,	minutes  and seconds (0 if unavailable).
	    Equivalent to number of samples divided by the sample-rate.

     -D     Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable).

     -b     Show number of bits per sample (0 if not applicable).

     -B     Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if unavailable).

     -p     Show estimated sample precision in bits.

     -e     Show the name of the audio encoding.

     -a     Show file comments (annotations) if available.
