OPENAPTXENC(1)

👑 OPENAPTXENC — the aptX encoder glow-up 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to openaptxenc, aka aptX encoder utility 0.2.0 (and she's running on libopenaptx 0.2.0, no cap). This is the OPENAPTXENC(1) page from the User Commands section and honestly? it's giving "tiny tool, huge slay."

🌸 NAME 🌸

openaptxenc — aptX encoder utility 0.2.0 (using libopenaptx 0.2.0)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: openaptxenc is the aptX encoder utility 0.2.0, and she's built on libopenaptx 0.2.0. Two peas, one pod, both iconic. 🫶

What she does is literally this: she takes raw 24 bit signed stereo samples coming in on stdin and encodes them out to aptX or aptX HD on stdout. In one side, out the other. The pipeline is the moment. 😭💖

🎀 Usage:

openaptxenc [options]

That's it. That's the whole synopsis. Short king energy, but make it an encoder. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — Displays this help. When in doubt, ask the tool herself. Very demure, very mindful. 🎀
• --hd — Encodes to aptX HD. Say it with me: HD. Higher definition, higher standards, main character energy. ✨

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

The holy trinity of "just pipe it, bestie":

openaptxenc < sample.s24le > sample.aptx

openaptxenc --hd < sample.s24le > sample.aptxhd

sox sample.wav -t raw -r 44.1k -L -e s -b 24 -c 2 - | openaptxenc
> sample.aptx

Not me being obsessed with how clean that last one is — sox does the converting, openaptxenc does the encoding, and the pipe in the middle is the friendship bracelet holding it all together. 💜🌈

quick reminder bestie: the sample data goes in through stdin and the encoded aptX or aptX HD comes out on stdout, so redirects and pipes are your besties here. no file arguments, no drama. 💀

This little love letter to audio encoding was written by Debian (help2man) and dated April 2024. So if you ever wondered who to thank for the formatting? That's her. Slay, help2man. 🌟

now go encode something iconic. bye bestie 🧚💫
