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.
