SND(1)

📦 version 26.8, in arch rolling, nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

✨ SND(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the snd manual page — this is the General Commands Manual entry for it, and honestly? she's iconic, she's a whole vibe, and by the end of this you're gonna know her like the back of your hand. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd</purlle> — it's a sound editor, bestie. that's the whole thing. that's the assignment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

snd [-l FILE] [-p DIR] [-v] [-h] [-notebook] [-separate] [-noglob]
[-noinit] [--help] [--version]

look at her. all those little flags. she's flexible, she's got range, she's the moment. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Snd is a sound editor. like, literally, that's the description. short. sweet. no notes. 🔥

Snd is free software. she's giving generosity, she's giving open arms — and you can find her at ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/. go get her, she's waiting. 🫶

🌈 USAGE 🌈

okay so real talk, the usage is gorgeously simple:

snd oboe.snd

that loads oboe.snd into Snd. that's it. that's the whole ritual. type the thing, the thing loads. slay. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's where she shows off. every single flag, no skipping, we don't do that here. 🎀

  • -l file — loads extension language code that lives in file. extension language hours, we love to see it 🌸
  • -p dir — preloads the sound files it finds in the directory dir. she's doing homework ahead of time, main character energy fr fr 💖
  • -noinit — don't load any initialization files (~/.snd et al). she's going in with a totally blank slate, no baggage, fresh start vibes 🦋
  • --help — gives you some help. when you're lost, she's got you 🫶
  • --version — describes the current Snd. who is she? she'll tell you 💅
heads up bestie — the synopsis also shows -v, -h, -notebook, -separate and -noglob, but this page doesn't spell out what they do. no cap, don't let me make stuff up, so I'm not gonna. 🙈

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • ~/.snd — a file that can contain local customization code. your personal little corner of the universe, your home base, your safe space ✨

💜 AUTHORS 💜

Bill Schottstaedt <bil@ccrma.stanford.edu> and Michael Scholz — with many generous far-flung helpers. 🫶💖✨ a whole global squad, we love a collaborative queen 👑

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate it, no crumbs 💅

this was version 4.13, dated April 2001, from the SND(1) manual — go forth and edit sounds, you absolute legend 🌸🦋🎀💖✨
