Supported audio file types are listed and described in .BR soxformat (7).

An option may be given to select a single piece of information to show. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-V\fR Set verbosity. See .BR sox (1) for details. .TP \fB\-t\fR Show detected file-type. .TP \fB\-r\fR Show sample-rate. .TP \fB\-c\fR Show number of channels. .TP \fB\-s\fR Show number of samples (0 if unavailable). .TP \fB\-d\fR Show duration in hours, minutes and seconds (0 if unavailable).
