DESCRIPTION
The galette program is a simple tool that extracts and encodes digital audio tracks from a CD on a SPARCstation running Solaris, with jitter correction. The output is sent to the file specified as the final argument on the command line (or to stdout in the absence of a file name).

OPTIONS

-d device
    Use the specified CD-ROM device name.

-e  Exit if jitter control fails (exit status 2).

-f format
    Use the specified output format, from among the list: WAV, AIFF, PCM, SUN (default: SUN).

-h  Print usage information.

-i  Print CD-ROM information and exit.

-t track
    Capture the specified track number (default: 1).

-a  Dump all tracks, one by one (filename is usead as a name pattern).

-m  Read the CDXA sectors' MPEG data (Video CD)

-V  Print the program version.

-q  Do not show progress bar while reading the track.

-v  Verbose mode.

-b  Do not try to set the block size to 2352 bytes.

-x  Swap bytes in 16 bit samples.

FILES

/usr/local/bin/galette
    executable

EXAMPLE
galette -p -f wav -a -e track%02d.wav
this will grab all tracks on the CD, naming them track01.wav, track02.wav, etc...
galette -p -f sun -t 3 track03.au
this will grab track 3 and save it in SUN .au format.

Here is typical output from use of the -i option (CD information):
