sfinfo - display information about audio files

sfinfo [options] audio files...

sfinfo prints information about the specified audio files, including file format, sample rate, duration, and audio data format.

Any files which are not recognized as valid audio files will be ignored unless the --reporterror or -r option is given. The file formats 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.

--short, -s
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.

--version, -v
