SNDFILE-CONCAT(1)

💖 SNDFILE-CONCAT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sndfile-concat from the General Commands Manual — she's a tiny little tool but she EATS, and she's about to glue your audio files together like it's nothing 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sndfile-concat — concatenate audio data from two or more audio files 🎧🦋

like literally. smash them together. one after the other. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sndfile-concat infile1 infile2 ... outfile

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two or more ins, one out. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea ☕ sndfile-concat generates a brand new output file by concatenating the audio data of two or more input files. like it's a lil audio friendship bracelet, bestie 🫶

the encoding of the output file is the encoding used in infile1 — so whoever shows up first to the function, her outfit sets the dress code for everyone else. iconic behavior, honestly. audio data from the subsequent files gets converted to this encoding. so yes, they shapeshift to match the first one 🧚✨

the only restriction? the files must have the same number of channels. that's the one rule. same channel count or it's not happening, sorry girl 💀

⚠️ heads up: the output file is overwritten if it already exists. no confirmation, no warning, no "are you sure bestie?" — she just goes. so double check your outfile name before you hit enter, or you WILL lose a file and we WILL be sad 😭

👑 EXIT STATUS 👑

the sndfile-concat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. so 0 = slay, anything bigger = something went sideways. vibe check the exit code, always 🔥
