DESCRIPTION

   The  aurecord  program  can be used to record audio data from a Network
   Audio System server into a file.  The  recording  will  continue  until
   either  the specified time has elapsed or aurecord receives a SIGINT or
   SIGTERM signal.

OPTIONS

   The following options may be used with the aurecord program:

   -audio servername
           The Network Audio System server from which the file  should  be
           recorded.

   -file format
           The file format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -?
           option will display a list of valid file formats.  The  default
           file format is Sun/NeXT.

   -data format
           The data format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -?
           option will display a list of valid data  formats.   Note  that
           each  file  format may only support selected data formats.  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.   This  option  allows  the  amplification  mode  to  be
           specified.  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 this option is not
           used,  aurecord will record until a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal is
           received.

   -comment comment
           A comment to be stored in the data file.

   -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and  data
           formats.
