.SH NAME
gen \- program to generate test files of radio transmission modulation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gen
.RI [ options ]\ output_file
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B gen
.br
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBmultimon\fP is a program that decodes radio transmissions, 
\fBgen\fP generates modulated files suitable for decoding with
\fBmultimon\fP.
.SH OPTIONS

.B  \-t <type>
output file type (any other type than raw requires sox).
.br
allowed types: raw aiff au hcom sf voc cdr dat smp wav maud vwe
.TP
.B  \-a <ampl>
amplitude.
.TP
.B  \-d <str>
encode DTMF string.
.TP

.SH EXAMPLE
Create a file /tmp/message.wav containing sound samples of packet radio message:
.br
gen \-p "This is a message." \-t raw /tmp/message.wav
