NAME

       sfinfo - display information about audio files


SYNOPSIS

       sfinfo [options] audio files...


DESCRIPTION

       sfinfo prints information about the specified audio files, including
       file format, sample rate, duration, and audio data format.

       By default sfinfo displays information in a longer, multi-line format;
       specifying the --short or -s option produces a short, single-line
       summary.

       Any files which are not recognized as valid audio files will be ignored
       unless the --reporterror or -r option is given. The file formats
       currently supported by sfinfo are AIFF, AIFF-C, NeXT/Sun .snd/.au,
       WAVE, Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File, AVR, Amiga IFF/8SVX, Sample
       Vision, Creative Voice File, NIST SPHERE, and Core Audio Format.


OPTIONS

       --short, -s
           Print short single-line summary of each recognized audio file.

       --reporterror, -r
           Print an error message if any of the specified files are not
           recognized as valid audio files.

       --help, -h
           Print help message.

       --version, -v
           Print version information.
