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!)
