 .SH EXAMPLES
 
 Visualize audio levels on DAHDI channel 2:
 
-  dahdi_monitor 2 -v
+  dahdi_monitor 2 \-v
 
 
 Record channel 3 to a file:
 
-  dahdi_monitor 3 -f output.raw
+  dahdi_monitor 3 \-f output.raw
 
 This will create a raw PCM file (signed-linear, 8kHz, mono, 16 bits per
 sample). Both the Tx and Rx will be multiplexed in a single channel.
 It can be converted to a WAV file using e.g.:
 
-  sox -s -c1 -2 -r8000 output.raw output.wav
+  sox \-s \-c1 \-2 \-r8000 output.raw output.wav
 
 
 Record Tx and Rx of channel 5 to separate files. This time directly to
 WAV files:
 
-  dahdi_monitor 5 -r output_rx.wav -t output_tx.wav
+  dahdi_monitor 5 \-r output_rx.wav \-t output_tx.wav
 
 
 Record channel 8 to a stereo file (Tx and Rx on its two channels):
 
-  dahdi_monitor 8 -s output.raw
+  dahdi_monitor 8 \-s output.raw
 
 Converting it to a WAV file:
 
-  sox -s -c2 -2 -r8000 output.raw output.wav
+  sox \-s \-c2 \-2 \-r8000 output.raw output.wav
