NAME

       oidua - audio file metadata lister

SYNOPSIS

       oidua [options] directory [...]

DESCRIPTION

       lists  meta  data  of  audio  files.  What  information  and  how it is
       presented is customizable. It is possible  to  format  output  in  csv,
       html, xml or for human beings.

OPTIONS

       -B, --bg COLOR
              Set HTML background color

       -D, --date
              Display datestamp header

       --debug
              Output debug trace to stderr

       -e, --exclude DIRECTORY
              Exclude directory from search

       -f, --file FILE
              write output to file

       -h, --help
              Display help message

       -H, --html
              HTML output

       --ignore-bad
              Don’t list files that cause Audiotype failure

       -i, --ignore-case
              Case-insensitive directory sorting

       -I, --indent N
              Set indent to N

       -m, --merge
              Merge identical directories
              Basedirs  with  identical  names are merged. This Means that all
              their  subdirs  are  considered  being  subdirs  of   a   single
              directory, and therefore sorted and displayed together. If there
              are duplicate names  among  the  subdirs  then  those  are  also
              merged.

       -o, --output STRING
              Set output format to STRING

              Anything  enclosed  by  brackets  is considered a field. A field
              must have the following syntax:

              [TAG]

              [TAG,WIDTH]

              [TAG,WIDTH,SUFFIX]

              [TAG,SUFFIX]

                     TAG is any of the following characters:

                      a      list of bitrates in Audiolist compatible format

                      b      bitrate with suffix (i.e. 192k)

                      B      bitrate in bps

                      d      depth; distance from respective basedir

                      f      number of audio files (including spacers)

                      l      length in minutes and seconds

                      L      length in seconds

                      m      time of last change

                      M      time of last change in seconds since the epoch

                      n      directory name (indented)

                      N      directory name

                      p      profile

                      P      full path

                      q      quality

                      s      size with suffix (i.e. 65.4M)

                      S      size in bytes

                      t      file type

                      T      bitrate type:

                             ~      mixed files

                             C      constant bitrate

                             L      lossless compression

                             V      variable bitrate

                      WIDTH  defines the exact width of the field. The  output
                             is  cropped  to  this  width  if needed. Negative
                             values will give left aligned output. Cropping is
                             always done on the right.

                      SUFFIX lets you specify a unit to be concatenated to all
                             non-empty data.
                             Other interpreted sequences are:

                             \[     [

                             \]     ]

                             \n     new line

                             \t     tab character

                     Unescaped brackets are forbidden  unless  they  define  a
                     field.

                     Note: If you have any whitespace in  your  output  string
                     you  must  put  it inside quotes or otherwise it will not
                     get parsed right.

              -q, --quiet
                     Omit progress indication

              -s, --strip
                     Strip output of field headers and empty directories

              -S, --stats
                     Display statistics results

              -t, --time
                     Display elapsed time footer

              -T, --text  COLOR
                     Set HTML text color

              -V, --version
                     Display version

              -w, --wildcards
                     Expand wildcards in basedirs
