By default, the output file contains a standard audio file information string.
Standard Audio File Information:
date: 1994-01-25 19:19:39 UTC date
user: kabal@aldebaran user
program: GenTone program name
This information can be changed with the header information string which is
specified as one of the command line options. Structured information records
should adhere to the above format with a named field terminated by a colon,
followed by numeric data or text. Comments can follow as unstructured
information.
Record delimiter: Newline character or the two character escape
sequence "\" + "n".
Line delimiter: Within records, lines are delimiteded by a carriage
control character, the two character escape sequence "\" + "r",
or the two character sequence "\" + newline.
If the information string starts with a record delimiter, the header
information string is appended to the standard header information. If not,
the user supplied header information string appears alone.
