read current SoundSet configuration

## NAME

**getsoundset** - read current SoundSet configuration

## SYNOPSIS

**getsoundset** \[ \<soundset file\> \]

**getsoundset** is part of the WSoundTools for Window Maker that dumps the current event related sound configuration to either a file or standard output.

If you store the outputted info in a file, you can use that file as a SoundSet which can be loaded again by the **setsounds** utility or by an external application like **WSoundPrefs.**
