Read GUANO metadata

Reads the GUANO metadata of a WAV file, or of a Wave object that carries it. GUANO is the metadata format used by many bioacoustic recorders, including AudioMoth devices running current firmware. A file holding no GUANO metadata gives an empty result rather than an error. A WAV file over 4 GiB, written in the RF64 or BW64 form, is read as any other.

Usage

guano(x)

Arguments

x

Path to a WAV file, a Wave object with GUANO metadata attached, or a raw vector holding a whole WAV file

Value

A guano object, which is a named list of fields
