SYNOPSIS
       aurecord [-audio servername] [-file format] [-data format] [-rate
       sample rate] [-mode input mode] [-gain input gain] [-time seconds]
       [-comment comment] [-?] filename

DESCRIPTION
       The aurecord program can be used to record audio data from a Network
       Audio System server into a file.  The recording will continue until
       either the specified time has elapsed or aurecord receives a SIGINT or
       SIGTERM signal.

OPTIONS
       The following options may be used with the aurecord program:

       -audio servername
               The Network Audio System server from which the file should be
               recorded.

       -file format
               The file format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -?
               option will display a list of valid file formats.  The default
               file format is Sun/NeXT.

       -data format
               The data format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -?
               option will display a list of valid data formats.  Note that
               each file format may only support selected data formats.  The
               default data format is 8-bit uLAW.

       -rate sample rate
               The sampling rate (in hertz) for the recording.  The default
               rate is 8000 Hz.

       -mode input mode
               Some Network Audio System servers may have different input
               amplification modes for microphone input versus line level
               input.  This option allows the amplification mode to be
               specified.  The two modes available are "mic" for microphone
               input and "line" for line level input.  The default mode is
               "mic".

       -gain input gain
               The input gain level in percent.  The default is 75%.

       -time seconds
               The time, in seconds, for the recording.  If this option is not
               used, aurecord will record until a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal is
               received.

       -comment comment
               A comment to be stored in the data file.

       -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and data
               formats.
