WVUNPACK(1)															       WVUNPACK(1)

NAME

       wvunpack - decodes wavpack encoded files

SYNOPSIS

       wvunpack [-options] INFILE... [-o OUTFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       wvunpack decodes WavPack files back to their uncompressed wav or raw form using the options provided. Unless overridden with the -o switch,
       the resulting filename will be source-name.wav (or source-name.raw when -r used). Multiple WavPack input files may be specified resulting
       in multiple output files, and in that case -o may be used to specify an alternate target directory.  Stdin and stdout may be specified with
       "-". WavPack files are generally created with the wavpack program.

OPTIONS

       -b
	   blindly decode all stream blocks and ignore length info

       -c
	   do not decode audio but instead just extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to stdout (equivalent to -x "cuesheet")

       -cc
	   extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to source-name.cue file in same directory as decoded audio file (equivalent to -xx
	   "cuesheet=%a.cue")

       -d
	   delete source file if successful (use with caution!)

       --help
	   display extended help

       -i
	   ignore .wvc file (forces hybrid lossy decompression)

       -m
	   calculate and display MD5 signature; verify if lossless

       --no-utf8-convert
	   leave extracted text tags in UTF-8 encoding during extraction or display

       -q
	   quiet (keep console output to a minimum)

       -r
	   force raw audio decode by skipping RIFF headers & trailers, results in source-name.raw

       -s
	   do not decode audio but simply display summary information about WavPack file to stdout

       -ss
	   do not decode audio but simply display summary and tag information about WavPack file to stdout

	--skip=[sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]
	   start decoding at specified sample or time index

       -t
	   copy input file's time stamp to output file(s)

	--until=[+|-][sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]
	   stop decoding at specified sample or time index, specifying a + causes sample/time to be relative to --skip point, specifying a -
	   causes sample/time to be relative to EOF

       -v
	   verify source data only (no output file created)

       -w
	   regenerate fresh wav header (ingore RIFF data stored in WavPack file)

       -x "Field"
	   do not decode audio but instead just extract the specified tag field to stdout

       -xx "Field[=file]"
	   extract the specified tag field to named file in same directory as decoded audio file; optional filename specification may contain %a
	   which is replaced with the audio file base name, %t replaced with the tag field name (note: comes from data for binary tags) and %e
	   replaced with the extension from the binary tag source file (or "txt" for text tag).

       -y
	   yes to overwrite warning (use with caution!)
