SNDCOMPRESS(1)SNDCOMPRESS(1)NAMEsndcompress - compress or decompress a soundfile
SYNOPSISsndcompress [ -<n> ] [ -l ] inputFile outputFile
DESCRIPTION
Sndcompress compresses or decompresses a soundfile. If the input
soundfile is in a 16 bit linear format, it is compressed. If the input
soundfile is in a compressed format, it is decompressed. The options
control the compression type; by default, (no options specified), Audio
Transform Compression (ATC) is used.
OPTIONS
-<n> This option controls the compression amount for lossy
compression. Specify <n> as an integer: 4 <= n <= 8. Higher
numbers give greater compression.
-l This option specifies lossless compression. A subsequent
decompression will reproduce the original sound exactly.
