title: libsndfile : the sf_command function.
---
# sf_command
```c
int sf_command (SNDFILE *sndfile, int cmd, void *data, int datasize) ;
```
This function allows the caller to retrieve information from or change aspects
of the library behaviour. Examples include retrieving a string containing the
library version or changing the scaling applied to floating point sample data
during read and write. Most of these operations are performed on a per-file
basis.
The cmd parameter is an integer identifier which is defined in *sndfile.h*. All
of the valid command identifiers have names beginning with "SFC_". Data is
passed to and returned from the library by use of a void pointer. The library
will not read or write more than datasize bytes from the void pointer. For some
calls no data is required in which case data should be NULL and datasize may be
used for some other purpose.
The available commands are as follows:

```
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd

datasize
: SF_TRUE or SF_FALSE
For read operations setting normalisation to SF_TRUE means that the data from
all subsequent reads will be be normalised to the range [-1.0, 1.0].
For write operations, setting normalisation to SF_TRUE means than all data
supplied to the float write functions should be in the range [-1.0, 1.0] and
will be scaled for the file format as necessary.
For both cases, setting normalisation to SF_FALSE means that no scaling will
take place.
### Examples
```c
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_NORM_FLOAT, NULL, SF_TRUE) ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_NORM_FLOAT, NULL, SF_FALSE) ;
```

```
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd

data
: NULL
datasize
: SF_TRUE or SF_FALSE
For read operations setting normalisation to SF_TRUE means that the data from
all subsequent reads will be be normalised to the range [-1.0, 1.0].
For write operations, setting normalisation to SF_TRUE means than all data
supplied to the double write functions should be in the range [-1.0, 1.0] and
will be scaled for the file format as necessary.
For both cases, setting normalisation to SF_FALSE means that no scaling will
take place.
### Examples
```c
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_NORM_DOUBLE, NULL, SF_TRUE) ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_NORM_DOUBLE, NULL, SF_FALSE) ;

const char *extension ;
} SF_FORMAT_INFO ;
```
When `sf_command()` is called with `SF_GET_SIMPLE_FORMAT`, the value of the
format field should be the format number (ie 0 \<= format \<= count value
obtained using `SF_GET_SIMPLE_FORMAT_COUNT).
### Examples
```c
SF_FORMAT_INFO format_info ;
int k, count ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_GET_SIMPLE_FORMAT_COUNT, &count, sizeof (int)) ;

The `SF_FORMAT_INFO` struct is defined in \<sndfile.h\> as:
```c
typedef struct
{ int format ;
const char *name ;
const char *extension ;
} SF_FORMAT_INFO ;
```
When `sf_command()` is called with `SF_GET_FORMAT_INFO`, the format field is
examined and if (format & `SF_FORMAT_TYPEMASK`) is a valid format then the
struct is filled in with information about the given major type. If (format &
`SF_FORMAT_TYPEMASK`) is FALSE and (format & `SF_FORMAT_SUBMASK`) is a valid
subtype format then the struct is filled in with information about the given
subtype.

} ;
```
Example 2: Print a string describing the `SF_FORMAT_PCM_16` subtype.
```c
SF_FORMAT_INFO format_info ;
int k, count ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_GET_FORMAT_SUBTYPE_COUNT, &count, sizeof (int)) ;
for (k = 0 ; k < count ; k++)
{ format_info.format = k ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_GET_FORMAT_SUBTYPE, &format_info, sizeof (format_info)) ;
if (format_info.format == SF_FORMAT_PCM_16)
{ printf ("%08x %s\n", format_info.format, format_info.name) ;
break ;
} ;
} ;
```
For a more comprehensive example, see the program `list_formats.c` in the
`examples/` directory of the libsndfile source code distribution.
### Return value
0 on success and non-zero otherwise.
The value of the format field will be one of the major format identifiers such
as `SF_FORMAT_WAV` or `SF_FORMAT_AIFF`. The name field will contain a char\*
pointer to the name of the string; for instance "WAV (Microsoft)" or "AIFF
(Apple/SGI)". The extension field will be a NULL pointer.
## SFC_SET_ADD_PEAK_CHUNK
By default, WAV and AIFF files which contain floating point data (subtype
`SF_FORMAT_FLOAT` or `SF_FORMAT_DOUBLE`) have a PEAK chunk. By using this
command, the addition of a PEAK chunk can be turned on or off.
**Note**: This call must be made before any data is written to the file.
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd
: SFC_SET_ADD_PEAK_CHUNK
data
: Not used (should be NULL)
datasize
: TRUE or FALSE.
### Examples
```c
/* Turn on the PEAK chunk. */
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_ADD_PEAK_CHUNK, NULL, SF_TRUE) ;
/* Turn off the PEAK chunk. */
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_ADD_PEAK_CHUNK, NULL, SF_FALSE) ;
```
### Return value
Returns SF_TRUE if the peak chunk will be written after this call. Returns
SF_FALSE if the peak chunk will not be written after this call.
## SFC_UPDATE_HEADER_NOW
The header of an audio file is normally written by libsndfile when the file is
closed using [**sf_close()**](api.md#file-close-function).
There are however situations where large files are being generated and it would
be nice to have valid data in the header before the file is complete. Using this
command will update the file header to reflect the amount of data written to the
file so far. Other programs opening the file for read (before any more data is
written) will then read a valid sound file header.
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd
: SFC_UPDATE_HEADER_NOW
data
: Not used (should be NULL)
datasize
: Not used.
### Examples
```c
/* Update the header now. */
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_UPDATE_HEADER_NOW, NULL, 0) ;
```
### Return value

## SFC_RF64_AUTO_DOWNGRADE
Enable auto downgrade from RF64 to WAV.
The EBU recomendation is that when writing RF64 files and the resulting file is
less than 4Gig in size, it should be downgraded to a WAV file (WAV files have a
maximum size of 4Gig). libsndfile doesn't follow the EBU recommendations
exactly, mainly because the test suite needs to be able test reading/writing
RF64 files without having to generate files larger than 4 gigabytes.
Note: This command should be issued before the first bit of audio data has been
written to the file. Calling this command after audio data has been written will
return the current value of this setting, but will not allow it to be changed.
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd
: SFC_RF64_AUTO_DOWNGRADE
data
: NULL
datasize
: SF_TRUE or SF_FALSE
### Examples
```c
/* Enable auto downgrade on file close. */
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_RF64_AUTO_DOWNGRADE, NULL, SF_TRUE) ;
```
### Return value
Returns `SF_TRUE` if `SFC_RF64_AUTO_DOWNGRADE` is set and `SF_FALSE` otherwise.
## SFC_GET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE
Get original samplerate metadata.
The Opus audio codec stores audio data independent of samplerate, but only
supports encoding or decoding at 8000Hz, 12000Hz, 16000Hz, 24000Hz or 48000Hz.
Opus includes a header field to record the original source input samplerate, and
a samplerate converter may be used if needed.
This command gets the original samplerate header field. It does not enable any
(non-existent) samplerate conversion, nor change the current decoder samplerate.
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd
: SFC_GET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE
data
: pointer to an integer
datasize
: sizeof (int)
### Examples
```c
/* Get the original sample rate */
int original_samplerate ;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_GET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE, &original_samplerate, sizeof (original_samplerate)) ;
```
### Return value
Returns `SF_TRUE` on success, `SF_FALSE` otherwise.
The passed integer is set to the value of the original samplerate.
## SFC_SET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE
Set original samplerate metadata.
The Opus audio codec stores audio data independent of samplerate, but only
supports encoding or decoding at 8000Hz, 12000Hz, 16000Hz, 24000Hz or 48000Hz.
Opus includes a header field to record the original source input samplerate, and
a samplerate converter may be used if needed.
When writing an Opus file this command sets the original samplerate header field
to the provided value, which is then stored in the file. This has no effect on
the current encoder samplerate.
When reading an Opus file this command overrides the original samplerate value
as read from the file. libsndfile uses this value to choose what samplerate to
decode at, rounding up to the nearest valid Opus samplerate. After a successful
call, the file samplerate and frames count may have changed.
Note: This command should be issued before the first bit of audio data has been
read from or written to the file.
### Parameters
sndfile
: A valid SNDFILE* pointer
cmd
: SFC_SET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE
data
: pointer to an integer
datasize
: sizeof (int)
### Examples
```c
/* Store the original sample rate as 44100 */
int original_samplerate 44100;
sf_command (sndfile, SFC_SET_ORIGINAL_SAMPLERATE, &original_samplerate, sizeof (input_samplerate)) ;
```
### Return value
Returns SF_TRUE on success, SF_FALSE otherwise.
On write, can only succeed if no data has been written. On read, if successful,
[SFC_GET_CURRENT_SF_INFO](#sfc_get_current_sf_info) should be called to
determine the new frames count and samplerate
