NAME

       sfconvert - convert between various audio formats

SYNOPSIS

       sfconvert infile outfile [ options ... ] [ output keywords ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       The sfconvert tool can be used to convert audio files from one audio format to another.  The files' audio
       formats have to be supported by libaudiofile.

OPTIONS

       The following keywords specify the format of the output sound file:

       byteorder e
              Desired endianness of output sample data. e may be one of big or little.

       channels n
              Number of output channels. n is 1 for mono, and 2 for stereo files.

       format f
              Audio  format  of  output  file.  f  has to be one of the currently supported formats: aiff (Audio
              Interchange File Format), aifc (AIFF-C File Format), next (NeXT/Sun Format), wave  (MS  RIFF  WAVE
              Format),  bicsf  (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File Format), avr (Audio Visual Research File Format),
              iff (Amiga IFF/8SVX Sound File Format), or nist (NIST SPHERE File Format).

       integer n s
              Produce integer samples. n specifies the width  of  individual  samples  in  bits,  s  yields  the
              encoding  and  may be one of 2scomp (2's complement signed data), or unsigned (unsigned data). The
              integer and float options (see below) are mutually exclusive.

       float m
              Produce floating point samples with a maximum amplitude of m (usually 1.0). This options  may  not
              be used together with option integer.
