Options

Input file(s): AFileR AFileT:
The environment variable AUDIOPATH specifies a list of directories to be searched for the input audio file(s). Specifying "-" as the input file indicates that input is from standard input.
-g GAIN, --gain=GAIN
A gain factor applied to the data from the input files. This gain applies to all channels in a file. The gain value can be given as a real number (e.g., "0.003") or as a ratio (e.g., "1/256"). This option may be given more than once. Each invocation applies to the input files that follow the option.
-l L:U, --limits=L:U
Sample limits for the input files (numbered from zero). Each invocation applies to the input files that follow the option. The specification ":" means the entire file; "L:" means from sample L to the end; ":U" means from sample 0 to sample U; "N" means from sample 0 to sample N-1.
-L LEVEL --levelSPL=LEVEL
Listening level (in dB SPL) for a maximum amplitude sine (default 92 dB SPL)
-i NI --info==NI
Print information for each NI'th PEAQ frame. The default is chosen to print PEAQ frame information for at most 50 frames. Set NI to zero to suppress the printout of intermediate information.
-o OPTIONS --options=OPTIONS
Processing options.
  "clip_MOV" or "no_clip_MOV" - Clip MOV values (default "no_clip_MOV")
  "PC_init=V" - Initial value for the pattern correction factors
    (default 0)
  "PD_factor=V" - Forgetting factor for the maximum probability of
     detection calculation (default 1).
  "overlap_delay" or "no_overlap_delay" - Overlap warmup frames (frames
    before the data boundary) and the delay for calculating modulation
    difference and noise loudness values (default "overlap_delay")
  "data_bounds" or "no_data_bounds" - Ignore frames with small data
    values at the beginning and end of the reference (default
    "data_bounds")
  "end_min=N" - Stop processing at the frame that contains at least
    N samples (default value of N is 1024). The "-l" command line option
    can be used to shift the entire processing. For instance "-l -1024:"
    will add half a frame of zero padding before the start of data.
  "EHS_lag_start=N" where N is 0 or 1. The default is 1.
-t FTYPE, --type=FTYPE
Input audio file type. In the default automatic mode, the input file type is determined from the file header. For input from a non-random access file (e.g. a pipe), the input file type can be explicitly specified to avoid the lookahead used to read the file header. This option can be specified more than once. Each invocation applies to the input files that follow the option. See the description of the environment variable AF_FILETYPE below for a list of file types.
-P PARMS, --parameters=PARMS
Parameters to be used for headerless input files. This option may be given more than once. Each invocation applies to the input files that follow the option. See the description of the environment variable AF_NOHEADER below for the format of the parameter specification.
-h, --help
Print a list of options and exit.
-v, --version
Print the version number and exit.
Environment variables

AF_FILETYPE:
This environment variable defines the input audio file type. In the default mode, the input file type is determined from the file header.
  "auto"       - determine the input file type from the file header
  "AU" or "au" - AU audio file
  "WAVE" or "wave" - WAVE file
  "AIFF" or "aiff" - AIFF or AIFF-C sound file
  "noheader"   - headerless (non-standard or no header) audio file
  "SPHERE"     - NIST SPHERE audio file
  "ESPS"       - ESPS sampled data feature file
  "IRCAM"      - IRCAM soundfile
  "SPPACK"     - SPPACK file
  "INRS"       - INRS-Telecom audio file
  "SPW"        - Comdisco SPW Signal file
  "CSL" or "NSP" - CSL NSP file
  "text"       - Text audio file
AF_NOHEADER:
This environment variable defines the data format for headerless or non-standard input audio files. The string consists of a list of parameters separated by commas. The form of the list is
  "Format, Start, Sfreq, Swapb, Nchan, ScaleF"
Format: File data format
 "undefined" - Headerless files will be rejected
 "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 data
Start: byte offset to the start of data (integer value)
Sfreq: sampling frequency in Hz (floating point number)
Swapb: Data byte swap parameter
 "native"        - no byte swapping
 "little-endian" - file data is in little-endian byte order
 "big-endian"    - file data is in big-endian byte order
 "swap"          - swap the data bytes as the data is read
Nchan: number of channels
The data consists of interleaved samples from Nchan channels
ScaleF: Scale factor
 "default" - Scale factor chosen appropriate to the type of data. The
    scaling factors shown below are applied to the data in the file.
    8-bit mu-law:    1/32768
    8-bit A-law:     1/32768
    8-bit integer:   128/32768
    16-bit integer:  1/32768
    24-bit integer:  1/(256*32768)
    32-bit integer:  1/(65536*32768)
    float data:      1
 "<number or ratio>" - Specify the scale factor to be applied to
    the data from the file.
The default values for the audio file parameters correspond to the following string.
  "undefined, 0, 8000., native, 1, default"
AUDIOPATH:
This environment variable specifies a list of directories to be searched when opening the input audio files. Directories in the list are separated by colons (semicolons for Windows).
