Usage:
    WAVPACK [-options] infile[.wav]|infile.ext|- [outfile[.wv]|outpath|-]

    The default operation is lossless. Wildcard characters (*,?) may be included
    in the filename and the source file type is automatically determined (see
    accepted formats below). Raw PCM may also be used (see --raw-pcm option).

Input Formats:             .wav (default, includes bwf/rf64 varients)
                            .wv  (transcode operation, tags copied)
                            .caf (Core Audio Format)
                            .w64 (Sony Wave64)
                            .dff (Philips DSDIFF)
                            .dsf (Sony DSD stream)

Options:
    -a                      Adobe Audition (CoolEdit) mode for 32-bit floats
    --allow-huge-tags       allow tag data up to 16 MB (embedding > 1 MB is not
                             recommended for portable devices and may not work
                             with some programs including WavPack pre-4.70)
    -bn                     enable hybrid compression
                    n = 2.0 to 23.9 bits/sample, or
                    n = 24-9600 kbits/second (kbps)
                    add -c to create correction file (.wvc)
    --blocksize=n           specify block size in samples (max = 131072 and
                    min = 16 with --merge-blocks, otherwise 128)
    -c                      hybrid lossless mode (use with -b to create
                             correction file (.wvc) in hybrid mode)
    -cc                     maximum hybrid lossless compression (but degrades
                             decode speed and may result in lower quality)
    --channel-order=<list>  specify (comma separated) channel order if not
                             Microsoft standard (which is FL,FR,FC,LFE,BL,BR,
                             FLC,FRC,BC,SL,SR,TC,TFL,TFC,TFR,TBL,TBC,TBR);
                             specify '...' to indicate that channels are not
                             assigned to specific speakers, or terminate list
                             with '...' to indicate that any channels beyond
                             those specified are unassigned
    --cross-decorr          use cross-channel correlation in hybrid mode (on by
                             default in lossless mode and with -cc option)
    -d                      delete source file if successful (use with caution!)
    -f                      fast mode (faster encode and decode, but some
                             compromise in compression ratio)
    -h                      high quality (better compression ratio, but slower
                             encode and decode than default mode)
    -hh                     very high quality (best compression, but slowest
                             and NOT recommended for portable hardware use)
    --help                  this extended help display
    -i                      ignore length in file header (no pipe output allowed)
    --import-id3            import ID3v2 tags from the trailer of DSF files only
    -jn                     joint-stereo override (0 = left/right, 1 = mid/side)
    -l                      run at lower priority for smoother multitasking
    -m                      compute & store MD5 signature of raw audio data
    --merge-blocks          merge consecutive blocks with equal redundancy
                             (used with --blocksize option and is useful for
                             files generated by the lossyWAV program or
                             decoded HDCD files)
    -n                      calculate average and peak quantization noise
                             (for hybrid mode only, reference fullscale sine)
    --no-utf8-convert       assume tag values read from files are already UTF-8,
                             don't attempt to convert from local encoding
    --pair-unassigned-chans encode unassigned channels into stereo pairs
    --pause                 pause before exiting (if console window disappears)
    --pre-quantize=bits     pre-quantize samples to <bits> BEFORE encoding and MD5
                             (common use would be --pre-quantize=20 for 24-bit or
                             float material recorded with typical converters)
    -q                      quiet (keep console output to a minimum)
    -r                      remove file headers (file-appropriate headers
                             will be regenerated during unpacking)
    --raw-pcm               input data is raw pcm (default is 44100 Hz, 16-bit
                             signed, 2-channels, little-endian)
    --raw-pcm=sr,bps[f|s|u],nch,[le|be]
                            input data is raw pcm with specified sample rate,
                             sample bit depth (float or signed or unsigned), number
                             of channels, and little-endian or big-endian
                             (defaulted parameters may be omitted)
    --raw-pcm-skip=begin[,end]
                            skip <begin> bytes before encoding (i.e., a header)
                             and <end> bytes at the end-of-file (i.e., a trailer)
    -sn                     override default noise shaping where n is a float
                             value between -1.0 and 1.0; negative values move noise
                             lower in freq, positive values move noise higher
                             in freq, use '0' for no shaping (white noise)
    -t                      copy input file's time stamp to output file(s)
    --use-dns               force use of dynamic noise shaping (hybrid mode only)
    -v                      verify output file integrity after write (no pipes)
    --version               write the version to stdout
    -w Encoder              write actual "Encoder" information to APEv2 tag
    -w Settings             write actual "Settings" information to APEv2 tag
    -w "Field=Value"        write specified text metadata to APEv2 tag
    -w "Field=@file.ext"    write specified text metadata from file to APEv2
                             tag, normally used for embedded cuesheets and logs
                             (field names "Cuesheet" and "Log")
    --write-binary-tag "Field=@file.ext"
                            write the specified binary metadata file to APEv2
                             tag, normally used for cover art with the specified
                             field name "Cover Art (Front)"
    -x                   [n]extra encode processing (optional n = 1 to 6, 1=default)
                             -x1 to -x3 to choose best of predefined filters
                             -x4 to -x6 to generate custom filters (very slow!)
    -y                      yes to all warnings (use with caution!)
    -z                      don't set console title to indicate progress
