NAME
midicat - send to or receive from MIDI ports
SYNOPSIS
midicat [-d] [-i file] [-o file] [-q port]
DESCRIPTION
The midicat utility receives MIDI data from the given input MIDI port
and/or sends it to the given output MIDI port. The options are as
follows:
-d Dump transferred data in hex on stderr.
-i file
Read MIDI data from this file instead of receiving it from the
MIDI port. If the option argument is `-' then standard input
will be used.
-o file
Write MIDI data to this file instead of sending it to the MIDI
port. If the option argument is `-' then standard output will be
used.
-q port
Use this sndio(7) MIDI port for input/output. If the option is
used twice, the first one specifies the input port and the second
one the output port.
If no files are specified, then midicat transfers data from the MIDI
input port to the MIDI output port.
EXAMPLES
Send the given file to rmidi/0:
$ midicat -i file.syx -q rmidi/0
Dump data received from rmidi/0 to stderr:
$ midicat -d -q rmidi/0 -o /dev/null
Send data from rmidi/0 to midithru/0:
$ midicat -q rmidi/0 -q midithru/0
