RECORD_SND(1)

NAME
record_snd - records a raw 8-bit sound file

SYNOPSIS
record_snd [ file ]

The argument must be the sound file to contain the recording.

DESCRIPTION
record_snd Records raw 8-bit sound files, using shared memory and two processes to double buffer reads and writes. Use SIGINT (usually control-C) to stop the recording. Do NOT, however, use SIGKILL or any other signal to terminate the program. This leaves unwanted left-overs, in the form of a shared memory segment. Use play_cleanup if this happens accidentally. Use set_speed to change the recording rate of the samples.
