+NAME
+ aubiomfcc - a command line tool to compute Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+ aubiomfcc source
+ aubiomfcc [[-i] source]
+ [-r rate] [-B win] [-H hop]
+ [-v] [-h]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+ aubiomfcc compute the Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC).
+
+ MFCCs are coefficients that make up for the mel-frequency spectrum, a
+ representation of the short-term power spectrum of a sound. By default, 13
+ coefficents are computed using 40 filters.
+
+ When started with an input source (-i/--input), the coefficients are given on
+ the console, prefixed by their timestamps in seconds.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+ This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
+ starting with two dashes (--). A summary of options is included below.
+
+ -i, --input source Run analysis on this audio file. Most uncompressed and
+ compressed are supported, depending on how aubio was built.
+
+ -r, --samplerate rate Fetch the input source, resampled at the given
+ sampling rate. The rate should be specified in Hertz as an integer. If 0,
+ the sampling rate of the original source will be used. Defaults to 0.
+
+ -B, --bufsize win The size of the buffer to analyze, that is the length
+ of the window used for spectral and temporal computations. Defaults to 512.
+
+ -H, --hopsize hop The number of samples between two consecutive analysis.
+ Defaults to 256.
+
+ -h, --help Print a short help message and exit.
+
+ -v, --verbose Be verbose.
+
+REFERENCES
+
+ Using the default parameters, the filter coefficients will be computed
+ according to Malcolm Slaney's Auditory Toolbox, available at the following
