:mod:`sndhdr` --- Determine type of sound file
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: sndhdr
|
|
:synopsis: Determine type of a sound file.
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org>
|
|
.. Based on comments in the module source file.
|
|
|
|
.. index::
|
|
single: A-LAW
|
|
single: u-LAW
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`sndhdr` provides utility functions which attempt to determine the type
|
|
of sound data which is in a file. When these functions are able to determine
|
|
what type of sound data is stored in a file, they return a tuple ``(type,
|
|
sampling_rate, channels, frames, bits_per_sample)``. The value for *type*
|
|
indicates the data type and will be one of the strings ``'aifc'``, ``'aiff'``,
|
|
``'au'``, ``'hcom'``, ``'sndr'``, ``'sndt'``, ``'voc'``, ``'wav'``, ``'8svx'``,
|
|
``'sb'``, ``'ub'``, or ``'ul'``. The *sampling_rate* will be either the actual
|
|
value or ``0`` if unknown or difficult to decode. Similarly, *channels* will be
|
|
either the number of channels or ``0`` if it cannot be determined or if the
|
|
value is difficult to decode. The value for *frames* will be either the number
|
|
of frames or ``-1``. The last item in the tuple, *bits_per_sample*, will either
|
|
be the sample size in bits or ``'A'`` for A-LAW or ``'U'`` for u-LAW.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: what(filename)
|
|
|
|
Determines the type of sound data stored in the file *filename* using
|
|
:func:`whathdr`. If it succeeds, returns a tuple as described above, otherwise
|
|
``None`` is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: whathdr(filename)
|
|
|
|
Determines the type of sound data stored in a file based on the file header.
|
|
The name of the file is given by *filename*. This function returns a tuple as
|
|
described above on success, or ``None``.
