## NAME

buzzz - go buzzz.

## SYNOPSIS

buzzz -l i (loudness) -d f (duration) [-f f (frequency)] [--dragonfly (dragon style)] [--bumblebee (bumble style)] [--disk (computer style)] [-style (some style)] [--scan (scan mode)] [-sd i (scan duration)] <file.bzz|dir> (tune source)

## DESCRIPTION

buzzz buzzes. It can do so in different styles, at different base frequencies, and at different volumes. See the OPTIONS section for a description of all options.

The -l loudness and -d duration options are both mandatory. The last argument given must be a file containing the tune to buzz, or a directory containing such tune files. The tune must be contained in an interval of at most five tones. Non-conforming tunes may damage your soundcard.

## OPTIONS

-f f (frequency)
|  | Frequency in Hertz, can be specified as a positive real number.
-l i (loudness)
|  | Loudness, which is specified as an integer inbetween 0 and 100.
-d f (duration)
|  | Duration in hours, can be specified as a positive real.
The following options are discussed as a group:
--dragonfly (dragon style)
--bumblebee (bumble style)
--disk (computer style)
--mosquito (sting style)
|  | These are unary options specifying the style in which to buzz.
-style str (buzz style)
|  | str should be one of `bumblebee`, `dragonfly`, `mosquito`, or `disk`.
--scan (scan mode)
|  | This will buzz 10 seconds for each tune specified. Refer also to the -sd option.
-sd i (scan duration)
|  | Sets the scan time in (an integer number of) seconds. This affects the --scan option.

## ENVIRONMENT

Currently, no environmental issues with buzzz.

## DIAGNOSTICS

If the tune spans an interval larger than 5 tones, buzzz will emit little beeps. If the interval exceeds an octave, buzzz will fork and exec bell.

## BUGS

Some do.

## HISTORY

repeats itself, especially from a buzzing point of view. Refer to [1] for an in-depth analysis. A different point of view is presented in [2].

On the www it is difficult to show a manual page as compiled for rendering in a terminal, but one can view a manual page as compiled for rendering by a postscript interpreter. Lo and behold buzzz.ps.
