13.9.2 Use

HList is invoked by typing the command line

   HList [options] file ...

This causes the contents of each file to be listed to the standard output. If no files are given and the source format is HAUDIO, then the audio source is listed. The source form of the data can be converted and listed in a variety of target forms by appropriate settings of the configuration variables, in particular TARGETKIND.

The allowable options to HLIST are

-d
Force each observation to be listed as discrete VQ symbols. For this to be possible the source must be either DISCRETE or have an associated VQ table specified via the VQTABLE configuration variable.

-e N
End listing samples at sample index N.

-h
Print the source header information.

-i N
Print N items on each line.

-n N
Display the data split into N independent data streams.

-o
Show the observation structure. This identifies the rôle of each item in each sample vector.

-p
Playback the audio. When sourcing from an audio device, this option enables the playback buffer so that after displaying the sampled data, the captured audio is replayed.

-r
Print the raw data only. This is useful for exporting a file into a program which can only accept simple character format data.

-s N
Start listing samples from sample index N. The first sample index is 0.

-t
Print the target header information.

-F fmt
Set the source data format to fmt.

HLIST also supports the standard options -A, -C, -D, -S, -T, and -V as described in section 4.4.
