NAME

       sndfile-generate-chirp - generate a sound file containing a chirp

SYNOPSIS

       sndfile-generate-chirp  [options]  <sample  rate>  <length  in seconds>
       <sound file>

DESCRIPTION

       sndfile-generate-chirp generates a sound file containing  a  sine  wave
       that  sweeps from a low starting frequency to a higher ending frequency
       (ie a chirp).  The file is written using  libsndfile  (http://www.mega-
       nerd.com/libsndfile/).

       The parameters allows the start and end sine wave frequencies to be set
       as well as specifying the shape of the sweep (ie linear,  quadratic  or
       logarithmic).     Run    "sndfile-generate-chirp   --help"   for   more
       information.

       The format of the output file is determined by the  filename  extension
       of the output file.
