G711CONV(1) BSD General Commands Manual G711CONV(1)NAMEg711conv — conversions according to G.711
SYNOPSISg711conv [-a] [-u] [-P] [-A] [-R]
DESCRIPTION
The g711conv utility is part of the isdn4bsd package and is used to con‐
vert between the A-Law and u-law formats as specified in ITU G.711. It is
based on a freely available and freely usable reference implementation
done by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The following options are available:
-a Convert A-law to u-law
-u Convert u-law to A-law
-r Reverse bits before conversion
-R Reverse bits after conversion
-P Print the resulting conversion tables (as C-source) to stdout
instead of doing the actual conversion.
EXAMPLES
The command:
g711conv-P -a
prints out the A-law to u-law conversion table as C-source to stdout.
The command:
cat max_headroom.ul | g711conv-u -R > /dev/i4btel0
converts the u-law coded voice of Max Headroom to A-law, reverses the
bits of the result and moves that to an active isdn4bsd telephone connec‐
tion.
STANDARDS
A-Law and u-Law conversions are specified in ITU Recommendation G.711.
The reference implementation done by Sun Microsystems, Inc. is available
from http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/rec/g/g700-799/refimpl.txt.
