Displays information from the header of a given audio file or files. Supported
audio file types are listed and described in
soxformat(7). Note
however, that
soxi is intended for use only with audio files with a
self-describing header.
By default, as much information as is available is shown. An option may be given
to select just a single piece of information (perhaps for use in a script or
batch-file).
- -V
- Set verbosity. See sox(1) for details.
- -T
- Used with multiple files; changes the behaviour of
-s, -d and -D to display the total across all given
files. Note that when used with -s with files with different
sampling rates, this is of questionable value.
- -t
- Show detected file-type.
- -r
- Show sample-rate.
- -c
- Show number of channels.
- -s
- Show number of samples (0 if unavailable).
- -d
- Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if
unavailable). Equivalent to number of samples divided by the
sample-rate.
- -D
- Show duration in seconds (0 if unavailable).
- -b
- Show number of bits per sample (0 if not applicable).
- -B
- Show the bitrate averaged over the whole file (0 if
unavailable).
- -p
- Show estimated sample precision in bits.
- -e
- Show the name of the audio encoding.
- -a
- Show file comments (annotations) if available.
