a beep that really beeps - cross-platform command line tool to toot "tooot" - it's also a C C++ library

I've got tired of beep not working, here is toot (cross-platform C C++), toot works. It simply tries to call different ways to produce a sine wave that might be present on your machine.

it's both a C/C++ library and a command line tool Windows OSX Linux BSD Solaris Minix Raspbian

toot v1.0.9 [Jan 17, 2021] (c) 2017 - 2021 Guillaume Vareille http://ysengrin.com zlib licence https://github.com/vareille/toot git clone https://github.com/vareille/toot.git toot

void toot(float aFrequency_Hz, int aLength_ms) ;

Usage: toot [-f frequency_Hz] [-l length_ms]
toot [-v] [--verbose]
toot [-h] [--help] toot [--version]
Default: toot -f 440. -l 400 Example: toot

the release pane contains windows and osx executables

make sure the volume is on (though some beeps may use the hardware speaker) if you can't adjust frequency / length (or if it doesn't beep) on osx: you can install sox http://macappstore.org/sox on unix: you can install pactl or speaker-test or sox

If you know of any other way to reliably generate sine wave sound or beep on anykind of machine, I'll be happy to add them to toot. Let me know: toot at ysengrin.com

OSX : $ gcc -o toot.app toot_cmd_line_main.c toot.c ( or clang )

UNIX : $ gcc -o toot toot_cmd_line_main.c toot.c ( or clang tcc cc CC )

MinGW :

gcc -o toot.exe toot_cmd_line_main.c toot.c -LC:/mingw/lib -lkernel32 ( or tcc )

VisualStudio : Create an application project or an empty project (it links against Kernel32.lib)
