# smstrip(1)

program to remove extra data from SpectMorph model files

## NAME

smstrip - program to remove extra data from SpectMorph model files

## SYNOPSIS

**smstrip** *SM-File...*

## DESCRIPTION

**smstrip** is a tool which removes all debugging data from a SpectMorph model. By default, smenc includes more data than is required for playback in the SM-File. This extra data can be removed, thereby shrinking the file size considerably. Note that stripped models can be created directly by the encoder using **smenc -s**.

## OPTIONS

**smstrip** follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-').

- **-h**, **--help**

  Shows a brief help message.

- **-v**, **--version**

  Prints out **smstrip** version.

- **--keep-samples**

  Strips debugging information, but keeps the original sample data (useful for quality comparisions). This of course reduces the file size less than full stripping.
