aifc2aiff(1)

NAME
     aifc2aiff - convert an AIFF-C file to an AIFF file


SYNOPSIS
     aifc2aiff [-verbose] infile.aifc outfile.aiff


DESCRIPTION
     aiff2aiffc is a command-line program which reads an AIFF-C digital audio
     input file, and copies the header information and sample data to an AIFF
     output file.

     The output file contain copies of all the AIFF-C chunks in the original
     input file which are backward compatible with the old AIFF spec. This
     includes most standard information, such as author and copyright strings
     and loop points.  The chunks in the new file may not appear in exactly
     the same order as in the original file.

     It the AIFF-C input file contains data which has been compressed using
     one of the compression algorithms supported by the SGI Audio File Library
     (CCITT G.722, CCITT G.711), it will be automatically decompressed before
     it is copied to the AIFF output file. If the data in the input file has
     been compressed using some other algorithm, aifc2aiff will return an
     error value.

     If the AIFF-C input file parses correctly, and the output file is written
     with no errors, aifc2aiff returns 0. If there is an error, aifc2aiff
     returns 1.

     If the verbose option is specified, aifc2aiff periodically prints
     messages as sample data is copied from the input file to the output file.

     The AIFF and AIFF-C file format specifications are published by Apple
     Computer Inc.
