SBCINFO(1)
β¨ SBCINFO(1) β bestie's guide to the SBC analyzer β¨
okay so real talk, this is the manual page for sbcinfo π
it lives in section 1 of the manual (that's the "user commands" section, iykyk) and it's giving very niche, very Bluetooth-coded. pull up a chair π
πΈ NAME πΈ
sbcinfo β the subband codec (SBC) analyzer, aka your lil bestie who stares at SBC audio files and tells you what's inside πβ¨
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
sbcinfo <file>
that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument. no flags, no drama, no --help arc π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea, bestie π the sbcinfo command reads an SBC audio file and prints out information about the audio format being used. that's the whole job. it peeks, it reports, it does not play the audio, it does not transcode anything, it is simply the main character of "what format is this actually" π
so if you've got some mysterious .sbc file sitting in your downloads folder and you're like "what even are you" β this is the tool. slay π«Ά

ngl there is genuinely not a single option, environment variable, exit status, file path, warning, bug note, or SEE ALSO reference in this whole page. we checked. it's just three sections and a dream β¨ no cap.
and that's the whole page, bestie π this was version 1.0, dated 2012-11-15 β yes she's an elder but she's still iconic, we stan a vintage queen ππ mwah, go analyze something π¦πΈ
