<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>sndinfo</em></span> will attempt to find each named
file, open it for reading, read in the soundfile header, then
print a report on the basic information it finds. The order of
search across soundfile directories is as described <a class="link" href="UtilityTop.html#UtilityDir" title="Directories.">above</a>. If the
file is of type AIFF, some further details are listed first.
</p>
<p>
There are two option types:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>-i</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>-i1</em></span> will print instrument information, which includes looping. The option continues until a <span class="emphasis"><em>-i0</em></span> option.</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>The other option is <span class="emphasis"><em>-b</em></span> which prints the broadcast information for WAV files. It can similarly be negated with <span class="emphasis"><em>-b0</em></span>.</p>
