aiff2aifc(1)

NAME
     aiff2aifc - convert an AIFF file to an AIFF-C file


SYNOPSIS
     aiff2aifc [-verbose] infile.aiff outfile.aifc


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

     The output file will contain copies of all the AIFF chunks in the
     original input file. The chunks may not appear in exactly the same order
     as in the original file. The sample data in the AIFF-C output file will
     not be compressed.

     If the input AIFF file parses correctly, and the output file is written
     with no errors, aiff2aifc returns 0. If there is an error, aiff2aifc
     returns 1.

     If invoked with no arguments, aiff2aifc displays help.

     If the verbose option is specified, aiff2aifc 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.
