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.
