sox: Print statistical data of an audio file.
$ sox ${input_audiofile} -n stat
try on your machine

This command uses the tool "sox" to analyze an audio file specified by the variable ${input_audiofile}. The -n option tells sox to perform the analysis but not produce any output audio file. Finally, the stat parameter indicates that we want to display statistical information about the audio file, such as duration, sample count, and maximum/minimum amplitude.

In summary, the command analyzes the given audio file and provides statistical information about it without generating any output audio file.
