💖 FLAC123(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the flac123 manual page, straight outta the General Commands Manual — section 1, the "you can literally just run this in your terminal" section. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

flac123 — a command line player for FLAC audio files 🎵

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flac123 [OPTIONS] files...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

flac123 is a command line player for FLAC audio files. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it takes your FLAC files and it plays them, right there in the terminal, no fancy GUI, no nonsense, just pure main character energy 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d, --driver=STRING — sets the libao output driver. like, which audio backend is gonna do the actual playing. examples it names: pulse, macosx, oss, etc. iykyk 🔥
  • -w, --wav=FILENAME — sends the output to a wav file instead of to your speakers. and psst, if you want it on stdout, use --wav=- together with -q. iconic combo fr fr ✨
  • -R, --remote — flips on remote mode so the program can be controlled programmatically. if you wanna know more, go read README.remote, that's where the lore lives 📖
  • -b, --buffer-time=INT — overrides the default hardware buffer size, and the number you give it is in milliseconds. yes, INT means a whole number, don't be out here passing vibes 💀
  • -q, --quiet — suppresses text output. shhh. not a peep 🤫
  • -v, --version — version info, aka the receipts 🧾
  • -?, --help — help message, aka the bestie hand-holding 🫶
  • --usage — displays a brief usage message. short and sweet, no short option, she's independent 💜

🌈 SIGNALS 🌈

okay this part is genuinely useful so listen up 👂

when you give flac123 multiple files on the command line:

  • SIGINT will advance to the next track. so if you're like "next song bestie" — that's the move.
  • two SIGINT signals received in short succession will end the program. so the double-tap is the goodbye 💀✌️
