NAME
bufwave - a shifting waveform buffer.
CONTENTS
SYNTAX
bufwave [options] [file]
DESCRIPTION
A buffer (or window) is shifted along the input, and the
contents of the buffer are written to the stdout on each shift.
OPTIONS
1. width, frstep.
Input is buffered in frames of size width samples, and the buffer is
shifted along the input in steps of frstep samples.
Both width and frstep may be given with time units (s or ms), in which
case the they are converted to a number of samples using the given
samplerate option.2. type.
The type option sets the size of a binary sample in bytes.
Standard type names are recognised (char, short, int, float, double).
For example, type=1 is synonymous with type=char, both specifying a
binary sample of 1 byte.The special case of type=ASCII sets a sample to be a line of ASCII text
(delimited by a CR), of size up to a maximum number of characters set by
the length option.3. frame.
The frame option selects a sequence of contiguous frames for output by:
frame=a[-b]
where a and b are frame numbers: 1,2,3,...
The upper limit b is optional, and when it is missing then the frame
sequence is a single frame, otherwise a and b are inclusive limits.
The strings "min" and "max" are recognised as extreme limits.4. start.
The start option is an offset to the start of the first frame in samples.
If given with time units, the start is converted to samples using the
given samplerate option.5. reverse.
The reverse option causes each buffer to be written out in reverse order
of its samples.
EXAMPLES
1. A half-frame overlapping rectangular window of size 10ms.
bufwave width=10ms frstep=5ms file
2. Reverse the contents of each frame of a given sequence of 75-sample frames.
bufwave rev=on width=75 frstep=75 file
