<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom:0" class="asd_par">
<b>buzzz</b> buzzes. It can do so in different styles, at different base
frequencies, and at different volumes. See the <a class="intern" href="#options">OPTIONS</a> section
for a description of all options.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0" class="asd_par">
The <a class="intern" href="#opt-l"><b>-l</b> <i>loudness</i></a> and
<a class="intern" href="#opt-d"><b>-d</b> <i>duration</i></a> options
are both mandatory. The last argument given must be a file containing
the tune to buzz, or a directory containing such tune files.
The tune must be contained in an interval of at most
five tones. Non-conforming tunes may damage your soundcard.
