audiosend(1)

📦 version 2.7.19, in opensuse-leap 16.0

okay bestie, welcome to audiosend(1) from the General Commands Manual — she’s literally the send-an-audio-email icon, and the manual name is folded in right here like a little bow. 🎀💌

🌸 NAME 🌸

audiosend — send an audio email message. That’s the whole name, and she ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

audiosend  [addr]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The audiosend program lets a user on a properly-equipped workstation send an audio fragment as electronic mail. It’s giving very vintage “record your voice and yeet it into someone’s inbox” energy. 🎙️📬

If an argument is provided, it will be used as the To address. Otherwise, the user will be asked to provide the To address.

In any event, the user will be prompted for the Subject and CC fields.

Then audiosend lets the user record their message. Afterwards, the user gets these options, and yes, all four are iconic:

  • delivering the mail
  • listening to the message
  • re-recording the message
  • aborting

🎧 ENVIRONMENT 🎧

  • RECORD_AUDIO — set this to the name of a program that records audio, sending the digital audio to standard output. That’s the whole env-var moment, bestie. 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

💀 BUGS 💀

⚠️ Currently only works on Sun & Sony workstations equipped with microphones. No cap, that’s the whole bug, and it’s giving extremely specific vintage-hardware main character energy. 😭
