"mu-law8" - 8-bit mu-law data "A-law8" - 8-bit A-law data "unsigned8" - offset-binary 8-bit integer data "integer8" - two's-complement 8-bit integer data "integer16" - two's-complement 16-bit integer data "integer24" - two's-complement 24-bit integer data "integer32" - two's-complement 32-bit integer data "float32" - 32-bit floating-point data "float64" - 64-bit floating-point data "text" - text dataThe data formats available depend on the output file type. AU audio files:

mu-law, A-law, offset-binary 8-bit integer, 16-bit integerAIFF-C audio files:
mu-law, A-law, 8-bit integer, 16-bit integerHeaderless files:
all data formats
By default, the audio file header for the output file contains a standard information string.
Standard Header Information:
date: 1998/09/25 19:19:39 UTC date
user: kabal@aldebaran user
program: GenTone program name
This information can be changed with the header information string which is
specified as one of the command line options. Structured information records
should adhere to the above format with a named field terminated by a colon,
followed by numeric data or text. Comments can follow as unstructured
information. For the purpose of this program, records are terminated by
newline characters. However in the header itself, the newline characters are
replaced by nulls. To place a newline character into the header, escape
the newline character by preceding it with a '\' character. If the first
character of the user supplied header information string is a newline
character, the header information string is appended to the standard header
information. If not, the user supplied header information string replaces
the standard header information.
