✨ AURECORD(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

okay bestie, meet aurecord 💖 it's the lil tool that snatches audio off a Network Audio System server and drops it straight into a file. it's giving archival queen, it's giving "i record the vibes". let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

aurecord — record a sound file from a Network Audio System server 🎙️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, aurecord pulls audio data off a Network Audio System server and writes it into a file. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

the recording just keeps going until one of two things happens: either the time you specified has elapsed ⏳, or aurecord catches a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal 😭 (rip, she stops when you tell her to stop).

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the following options may be used with the aurecord program 🫶:

  • -audio servername — the Network Audio System server you wanna record from. tell her which one, she'll go there 🌈
  • -file format — the file format for the recorded audio data 📁. the -? option will show you a whole list of valid file formats, no cap. the default file format is Sun/NeXT ⭐
  • -data format — the data format for the recorded audio data 🎧. the -? option will display a list of valid data formats. heads up though: each file format may only support selected data formats, so they gotta match, iykyk. 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 lowkey have different input amplification modes for microphone input versus line level input 👀. 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 she receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. main character energy: she waits for you 😌
  • -comment comment — a comment to be stored in the data file 📝. leave a lil note for future you, periodt
  • -? — displays a usage message plus a list of supported file and data formats 📋✨. literally the "help me bestie" button
