Description
C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound
Long description
Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound (such as MS Windows WAV and the Apple/SGI AIFF format) through one standard library interface. It is released in source code format under the GNU Lesser General Public License. The library was written to compile and run on a Linux system but should compile and run on just about any Unix (including macOS). There are also pre-compiled binaries available for 32 and 64 bit windows. It was designed to handle both little-endian (such as WAV) and big-endian (such as AIFF) data, and to compile and run correctly on little-endian (such as Intel and DEC/Compaq Alpha) processor systems as well as big-endian processor systems such as Motorola 68k, Power PC, MIPS and SPARC. Hopefully the design of the library will also make it easy to extend for reading and writing new sound file formats.
