<H2>Shell commands</H2>
A number of shell commands<A NAME="1">
are</A> provided for executing scripts and converting
the output files to WAV format. These are described below:
<P><P><DL><DT><B>tao <script></B><DD>
Takes the name of a script as its argument (minus the <CODE>.tao</CODE>
extension) and executes it, producing a file called <CODE><script>.exe</CODE>.
This shell script calls upon the services of the binary executable
<CODE>taoparse</CODE>, which is described below.
<P><DT><B>taoparse <script>.tao</B><DD>
Binary executable which parses a <B>Tao</B> script, translates it into a
valid C++ program, and writes the results to standard output. This is
called by the <CODE>tao</CODE> shell script.
<P><DT><B>taosf <outputfile></B><DD>
Takes the name of a file produced by an Output device, minus the
<CODE>.dat</CODE> extension and normalises the audio samples, adding
a WAV header and writing the results to a file called <CODE><outputfile>.wav</CODE>.
This command actually calls the <CODE>tao2wav</CODE> binary executable with
the arguments <CODE>tao2wav <outputfile>.dat <outputfile>.wav</CODE>.
<P><DT><B>tao2wav <outputfile>.dat <outputfile>.wav</B><DD>
Binary executable used to convert a file produced by an Output device
(in raw floating point format) into a WAV file.
</DL>
<P>In addition to these commands, whenever a script is invoked with the
<CODE>tao</CODE> command a corresponding <CODE>.exe</CODE> file is produced. This
is the actual executable which carries out the synthesis described in
the script. For example the command <CODE>tao <file></CODE> invokes the script
<CODE><file>.tao</CODE> and as a by-product produces the executable file
<CODE><file>.exe</CODE>. Each <CODE>.exe</CODE> file has one command line option,
<CODE>[-g]</CODE>. This option causes the instrument visualisation window
to be opened. If omitted the synthesis proceeds without any visualisations.
<P>If you want to replay a synthesis described in a script you can invoke
this executable file directly rather than having to re-compile the original
text file containing the script.
