🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

aurecord [-audio servername] [-file format] [-data format] [-rate sample
rate] [-mode input mode] [-gain input gain] [-time seconds] [-comment
comment] [-?] filename

see how every single flag is optional except the filename? she's flexible. she's low maintenance. she's iconic. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the aurecord program is what you call when you want to pull audio data off a Network Audio System server and just... put it in a file. that's it, that's the job. ✨

and here's the thing — the recording will keep going until either the specified time has elapsed or aurecord catches a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. so she stops when the clock says so, or when you say so. main character energy fr fr. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

the following options may be used with the aurecord program:

• -audio servername — tells her which Network Audio System server to record the file from. 🌈
• -file format — the file format for the recorded audio data. hit up the -? option and she'll show you a whole list of valid file formats. the default file format is Sun/NeXT. 🎀
• -data format — the data format for the recorded audio data. again, -? will display a list of valid data formats. > heads up bestie: each file format may only support selected data formats, so don't just mix and match and expect it to slay. the default data format is 8-bit uLAW. 😌
• -rate sample rate — the sampling rate, in hertz, for the recording. the default rate is 8000 Hz. 🎵
• -mode input mode — some Network Audio System servers may have different input amplification modes for microphone input versus line level input, and this option lets you specify which amplification mode you want. the two modes available are "mic" for microphone input and "line" for line level input. the default mode is "mic". 🎤
• -gain input gain — the input gain level in percent. the default is 75%. 🔊
• -time seconds — the time, in seconds, for the recording. if you don't use this option, aurecord will just record until it receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. so like, she'll wait for you. 🫶
• -comment comment — a comment to be stored in the data file. cute lil note for future you. 💌
• -? — displays a usage message and a list of supported file and data formats. the ultimate cheat sheet, ngl. 🔥
