• Encode a WAV file to FLAC (this will create a FLAC file in the same location as the WAV file):

flac {{path/to/file.wav}}

• Encode a WAV file to FLAC, specifying the output file:

flac -o {{path/to/output.flac}} {{path/to/file.wav}}

• Decode a FLAC file to WAV, specifying the output file:

flac -d -o {{path/to/output.wav}} {{path/to/file.flac}}

• Test a FLAC file for the correct encoding:

flac -t {{path/to/file.flac}}
