To stop execution, please, interrupt the program e. g. with Ctrl + C on many Unix platforms). -- So actually, it can create multiple sound files, all in the same format options specified by the first command line argument accordingly to -- the 'genControl' function. -- -- If SoX binaries are not installed properly, the program makes ending informational message for the user. -- -- The first command line argument is the 'UkrainianLControl.Arr.genControl' specification. -- -- The second command line argument (if specified) must be in the form \"+O\" and then if specified denotes that -- the program cycle runs only once and exits after creating the single converted sound file. If specified, then -- the program reads not the line of the input, but the contents and, therefore, it can use multiline contents (e. g., poetry). -- -- The third command line argument is the filepath to the file with the Ukrainian text that instead of the user -- input provided otherwise into the prompting line on the terminal is read to be converted. -- -- The best comression ratio is with the .ogg files, but they lose some quality so be careful if you need it. main :: IO () main = do args <- getArgs let zs = concat . take 1 $ args ts = concat . drop 1 . take 2 $ args file = concat . drop 2 . take 3 $ args onepass = if ts == "+O" then True else False circle zs onepass file
