- * This program receives text encoded as pulses on the PC speaker,
- * and decodes them via simple FSK (Frequency Shift Keying)
- * demodulation and FIR (Finite Impulse Response) frequency
- * discriminator.
- *
- * It waits for specific tones at specific intervals.
- * It detects tones within the audio stream and reconstructs
- * characters bit-by-bit as the encoded modem signal is received.
- * This is performance-efficient on most CPUs, and has relatively
- * high tolerance for noisy signals (similar to techniques used
- * for data stored on audio cassette tapes).
- *
- * This is a special interface provided by coreboot and GNU GRUB,
- * for computers that lack serial ports (useful for debugging).
- * Note that GRUB and coreboot can both send these signals; this
- * tool merely decodes them. This tool does not *encode*, only
- * decode.
- *
- * Usage example (NOTE: little endian!):
- * parec --channels=1 --rate=48000 --format=s16le | ./spkmodem-recv
- *
- * Originally provided by GNU GRUB, this version is a heavily
- * modified fork that complies with the OpenBSD Kernel Source
- * File Style Guide (KNF) instead of GNU coding standards; it
- * emphasises strict error handling, portability and code
- * quality, as characterised by OpenBSD projects. Several magic
- * numbers have been tidied up, calculated (not hardcoded) and
- * thoroughly explained, unlike in the original version.
- *
- * The original version was essentially a blob, masquerading as
- * source code. This forked source code is therefore the result
- * of extensive reverse engineering (of the GNU source code)!
- * This cleaned up code and extensive commenting will thoroughly
- * explain how the decoding works. This was done as an academic
- * exercise in 2023, continuing in 2026.
- *
- * This fork of spkmodem-recv is provided with Libreboot releases:
- * https://libreboot.org/
