       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.

       summary.

       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

	   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.
