Format options defaults Options

[JJZolx]

I'm looking at a program which uses Flac encoding in a transcoding operation, and trying to figure out what the options listed below do. Do they tell Flac about the format of the input or what to produce in its output?

Are there default values for each of these?

CODE

format options:
      --endian={big|little}    Set byte order for samples
      --channels=#             Number of channels
      --bps=#                  Number of bits per sample
      --sample-rate=#          Sample rate in Hz
      --sign={signed|unsigned} Sign of samples (the default is signed)
