+shntool is a command-line utility to view and/or modify WAVE data
+and properties. It runs in several different operating modes, and
+supports various lossless audio formats.
+
+shntool is comprised of three parts - its core, mode modules, and
+format modules. This helps to make the code easier to maintain, as
+well as aid other programmers in developing new functionality. The
+distribution archive contains a file named 'modules.howto' that
+describes how to create a new mode or format module, for those so
+inclined.
