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
-o OUTFILE
specify output filename (only if single source file) or target directory (must exist)
-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!)

oggdec(1) Vorbis Tools oggdec(1)NAME
oggdec - simple decoder, Ogg Vorbis file to PCM audio file (Wave or RAW).
SYNOPSIS
oggdec [ -Qhv ] [ -b bits_per_sample ] [ -e endianness ] [ -R ] [ -s signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
oggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncompressed") audio files, either Wave or RAW format.
For each input file, oggdec writes to a filename based on the input filename, but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appro-
priate.
If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will read from stdin, and write to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Like-
wise, an output filename of - will cause output to be to stdout.
Writing Wave format to stdout is a bad idea. Wave requires a seekable medium for the header to be rewritten after all the data is written
out; stdout is not seekable.
OPTIONS -Q, --quiet
Suppresses program output.
-h, --help
Print help message.
-V, --version
Display version information.
-b n, --bits=n
Bits per sample. Valid values are 8 or 16.
-e n, --endian=n
Set endianness for 16-bit output. 0 (default) is little-endian (Intel byte order). 1 is big-endian (sane byte order).
-R, --raw
Output in raw format. If not specified, writes Wave file (RIFF headers).
-s n, --sign=n
Set signedness for output. 0 for unsigned, 1 (default) for signed.
-o filename, --output=filename
Write output to specified filename. This option is only valid if one input [file] is specified, or if raw mode is used.
EXAMPLES
Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav
as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options):
oggdec enabler.ogg
Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as headerless little-endian unsigned 16-bit:
oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg
Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned 8-bit:
oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg
Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as big-endian signed 16-bit (any of the following):
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg
oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw
Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav, bar.ogg to bar.wav, quux.ogg to quux.wav, etc.):
oggdec *.ogg
