sfcheck


NAME

sfcheck − checks for inconsistencies between the size of a soundfile and the data written in its header.

SYNOPSIS

sfcheck [-f] soundfile(s)

DESCRIPTION

sfcheck checks for inconsistencies between the actual size of a soundfile (as reported by the OS), and the size that is written in the header.

USAGE

sfcheck snd1.wav snd2.aiff snd3.wav ...

Checks the soundfiles snd1.wav snd2.aiff snd3.wav and makes sure the size written to their headers is the correct one.

If a discrepancy is found, the user is asked whether the header should be changed to reflect the actual filesize.

OPTIONS

−f

"Force" the correction of the header if a discrepancy is found, and don’t ask the user for confirmation.

BUGS

This program will only work with WAVE, AIFF, AIFC, and the old NeXT/Sun "snd" format soundfiles, that are 16-bit PCM encoded, with 1 or 2 channels.
