WVUNPACK

OUTPUT FILE FORMATS

• Microsoft RIFF, extension ".wav", force with -w or --wav, creates RF64 if > 4 GB

• Sony Wave64, extension ".w64", force with --w64

• Apple Core Audio, extension ".caf", force with --caf-be or --caf-le

• Raw PCM or DSD, extension ".raw", force with -r or --raw

• Philips DSDIFF, extension ".dff", force with --dsdiff or --dff

• Sony DSD Stream, extension ".dsf", force with --dsf

OPTIONS

-b

blindly decode all stream blocks and ignore length info

-c

do not decode audio but instead just extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to stdout (equivalent to -x "cuesheet")

-cc

extract cuesheet stored in APEv2 tag to source-name.cue file in same directory as decoded audio file (equivalent to -xx "cuesheet=%a.cue")

--caf-be, --caf-le

force output to big-endian or little-endian Core Audio, extension ".caf"

-d

delete source file if successful (use with caution!)

--dff, --dsdiff

force output to Philips DSDIFF, DSD audio source only, extension ".dff"

--dsf

force output to Sony DSF, DSD audio source only, extension ".dsf"

-f

do not decode audio but simply display summary information about WavPack file to stdout in a machine-parsable format (see doc/wavpack_doc.html or cli/wvunpack.c in repository for format details)

--help

display extended help

-i

ignore .wvc file (forces hybrid lossy decompression)

-m

calculate and display MD5 signature; verify if lossless

-n

no audio decoding (use with -xx to extract tags only)

--normalize-floats

normalize float audio to +/-1.0 if it isn't already (rarely the case, but alters audio and fails MD5)

--no-utf8-convert

leave extracted text tags in UTF-8 encoding during extraction or display

-o OUTFILE

specify output filename (only if single source file) or target directory (must exist)

-q

quiet (keep console output to a minimum)

-r, --raw

force raw PCM or DSD audio decode by skipping headers & trailers, results in source-name.raw

-s

do not decode audio but simply display summary information about WavPack file to stdout

-ss

do not decode audio but simply display summary and tag information about WavPack file to stdout

--skip=[-][sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]

start decoding at specified sample or time index, specifying a - causes sample/time to be relative to EOF

-t

copy input file's time stamp to output file(s)

--until=[+|-][sample|hh:mm:ss.ss]

stop decoding at specified sample or time index, specifying a + causes sample/time to be relative to --skip point, specifying a - causes sample/time to be relative to EOF

-v

verify source data only (no output file created)

-vv

quick verify (no output, version 5+ files only)

--version

write program version to stdout

-w, --wav

force output to Microsoft RIFF/RF64, extension ".wav"

--w64

force output to Sony Wave64, extension ".w64"

-x "Field"

do not decode audio but instead just extract the specified tag field to stdout

-xx "Field[=file]"

extract the specified tag field to named file in same directory as decoded audio file; optional filename specification may contain %a which is replaced with the audio file base name, %t replaced with the tag field name (note: comes from data for binary tags) and %e replaced with the extension from the binary tag source file (or "txt" for text tag).

-y

yes to overwrite warning (use with caution!)

-z[n]

don't set (n = 0 or omitted) or set (n = 1) console title to indicate progress (leaves "WvUnpack Completed")
