-s sun .au Force Sun .au u-law in/output format
-a A-law Force 8 kHz/8 bit A-law in/output format
-l linear Force 16 bit linear in/output format
-F fast Sacrifice conformance to performance
-C cutoff Ignore most samples during LTP
-v version Show version information
-h help Print this text
Options (12)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
-f | (force) Force replacement of output files if they exist. | help + man |
-c | cat Write to stdout, do not remove source files | help + man |
-d | (decode) Decode, rather than encode, the files. | help + man |
-p | (precious) Do not delete the source files. | help + man |
-u | (μU-law) 8 kHz, 8 bit μU-law encoding (file suffix .u) | help + man |
-s | (Sun audio) 8 kHz, 8 bit μU-law encoding with audio header (file suffix .au) | help + man |
-a | (A-law) 8 kHz, 8 bit A-law encoding (file suffix .A) | help + man |
-l | (linear) 8 kHz, 16 bit signed linear encoding in host byte order with 13 significant bits (file suffix .l) | help + man |
-F | (fast) On systems with a floating point processor, but without a multiplication instruction, -F sacrifices standard conformance to performance and nearly doubles the speed of the algorithm. | help + man |
-C | (LTP cut-off) Ignore most sample values when calculating the GSM long-term correlation lag during encoding. | help + man |
-v | (version) outputs the version of toast (or untoast or tcat) to stdout and exits. | help + man |
-h | (help) prints a short overview of the options. | help + man |
