shntool

A multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not - provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.

shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. The "Helper programs" section below contains links to helper programs for each format that shntool supports.

shntool is a software that performs various functions on WAVE data through the use of mode modules. The core of shntool is simply a wrapper around the mode mod-ules.
In fact, when shntool is run with a valid mode as its first argument, shntool essentially runs the main procedure for the specified mode and quits.
