DESCRIPTION
     The aucat utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the specified
     device.  By default, aucat plays audio through the /dev/audio device.
     The file operands are processed in command line order.  If a Sun .au
     header is detected it is skipped over and not copied to /dev/audio. Oth-
     erwise, the entire file is copied to /dev/audio.

     The options are as follows:

     -f device
             Specifies an alternate audio device.

     The aucat utility exits 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
