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.
