16 "print also the chunk table"
19 The 'chunk table' of an audio file is an array of offsets
20 within the audio file. Each offset corresponds to chunk
21 of encoded data. The exact meaning of 'chunk' depends on
24 Programs which are unaware of the particular audio format can
25 read the chunk table to obtain the timing information needed
29 option "parser-friendly" p
30 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
31 "do not use human-readable output format"
34 Currently this option only affects the format of the chunk table,
35 so it has no effect if --chunk-table is not given.
37 The human-readable output (the default) consists of one output
38 line per chunk and the output contains also the chunk number,
39 the duration and the size of each chunk. The parser-friendly
40 output prints only the offsets, in one line.

49 "modify (rather than print) tags"
52 When this option is given, para_afh creates the result file
53 as a temporary copy of the given file(s), but with meta
54 tags changed according to the options below. On errors,
55 the temporary file is removed, leaving the original file
56 unchanged. On success, if --backup is given, the original
57 file is moved away. Finally the temporary file is renamed to
58 the name of the original file.
62 "create backup of the original file"
65 The backup suffix is '~', i.e. a single tilde character is appended
66 to the given file name.
