NAME

       subptools - manipulates xml subtitles files

SYNOPSIS

       subptools  [-hrsvw] [-a hh:mm:ss,ms] [-c first[,last]] [-d seconds] [-e
       seconds] [-i file] [-o file] [-t format]

DESCRIPTION

       The subptools command performs various manipulations on  xml  subtitles
       files, acting as a filter from standard input to standard output unless
       -i or -o options are used.

       subtools can be used to handle so-called  xml  subtitles  files,  where
       each  subtitle  entry  is actually a filename to be substituted for the
       entry, or to adjust timestamps on each subtitle entry.

       The options are as follows:

       -a, --adjust hh:mm:ss,ms
              Adjust  all  time  stamps  so  that  the  first  tag  begins  at
              hh:mm:ss,ms.

       -c, --cut first[,last]
              Write  only  entries  numbered  from  first  to last, where last
              defaults to the last entry of the file.

       -d, --shift seconds
              Shift all time stamps by seconds seconds.

       -e, --expand seconds
              Expand the subtitle hour by seconds seconds.

       -c, --convert format
              Convert the xml subtitles file into a srt  (default)  or  spumux
              file.

       -h, --help
              Display usage and quit.

       -i, --input filename
              Use file filename for input, defaults to stdin.

       -o, --output filename
              Use file filename for output, defaults to stdout.

       -r, --renumber
              Renumber all entries.

       -s, --subst
              Substitute filename in each subtitle entry by the file contents.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose mode.

       -w, --strip
              Remove leading white space
