NAME
SoXI - Sound eXchange Information, display sound file meta-
data
SYNOPSIS
soxi [-V[level]] [-T] [-t|-r|-c|-s|-d|-D|-b|-B|-e|-a]
infile1 ...
DESCRIPTION
Displays information from the header of a given audio file
or files. Supported audio file types are listed and
described in soxformat(4). Note however, that soxi is
intended for use only with audio files with a self-describ-
ing header.
By default, as much information as is available is shown.
An option may be given to select just a single piece of
information (perhaps for use in a script or batch-file).
OPTIONS
-V Set verbosity. See sox(1) for details.
-T Used with multiple files; changes the behaviour of -s,
-d and -D to display the total across all given files.
Note that when used with -s with files with different
sampling rates, this is of questionable value.
-t Show detected file-type.
-r Show sample-rate.
-c Show number of channels.
-s Show number of samples (0 if unavailable).
-d Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if
unavailable). Equivalent to number of samples divided
by the sample-rate.
-D Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable).
-b Show number of bits per sample.
-B Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if
unavailable).
-e Show the name of the audio encoding.
-a Show file comments (annotations) if available.
