DESCRIPTION
XWave can edit, modify, and apply effects to sound files.
It supports RIFF (also known as WAV), AIFC, AU and RAW audio formats with different compression schemes (PCM, ALAW, ULAW and ADPCM).
OPTIONS
- -h
-
-? -help Prints a short help.
- -device device
-
Use the specified device for playing and recording. Defaults to /dev/dsp
- -wdir working-directory
-
The directory where files will be loaded and saved by default.
- -maxmem mem-in-bytes
-
Use at most mem-in-bytes bytes of memory per file loaded. If a file exceeds mem-in-bytes bytes, it will be played and edited on disk.
RESOURCES
- XWave*wdir
-
The working directory.
- XWave*tdir
-
The temporary directory where files which cannot fit in physical memory are edited. This is overridden by the environment variables TMP and TMPDIR.
- XWave*device
-
The device used for playing and recording.
- XWave*maxmem
-
Maximum memory in bytes to be allocated in RAM. Any edited file exceeding this size will be edited on disk.
ENVIRONMENT
- TMP
-
If this variable exists and points to a writable directory, this directory will be used as temporary directory.
- TMPDIR
-
Same as TMP.
NOTES
Xwave will try to find the temporary directory by searching successively:
the environment variable TMP,
the environment variable TMPDIR,
the X resource XWave*tdir,
or the hard-coded /tmp directory.
