SNDFILE-SALVAGE(1) DragonFly General Commands Manual SNDFILE-SALVAGE(1)
NAME
sndfile-salvage -- salvage audio data from WAV files longer than 4G
SYNOPSIS
sndfile-salvage toolong.wav fixed64.wav
DESCRIPTION
Audio files using the WAV file container are inherently limited to 4G of
data size fields in the WAV header being stored as unsigned 32bit inte-
gers. Many applications have trouble with these WAV files that are more
the 4G in size. sndfile-salvage rewrites the WAV file into a W64 file
with the same audio content. This file is overwritten if it already
exists.
EXIT STATUS
The sndfile-salvage utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
occurs.
