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.
| -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) | ||

Currently, no environmental issues with buzzz.
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.
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].
The bell(1) manual. This reference is not going anywhere; it just demonstrates a way of implementing references to other utilities. Troff can not link anyway, so this warning is strictly html.
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.
