NAME
     jack_umidi  --  daemon that converts a raw MIDI device into a JACK MIDI de-
     vice.

SYNOPSIS
     jack_umidi [-d <device_name>] [-C <capture_device_name>]
		[-P <playback_device_name>] [-n <port_name>] [-k] [-B] [-S]
		[-U <username>] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
     jack_umidi is a daemon that provides access to raw USB/socket MIDI  devices
     via  the  Jack  system.  The daemon will not exit when a device becomes un-
     available, but will wait until the device re-appears again.

     The following options are available:

     -k      Terminate the client when the first capture or playback  device  is
	     no longer available.  Else the client will try to re-connect.

     -B      Run the client in background mode.

     -S      Create 16 JACK subdevices for the capture device. One for each MIDI
	     channel.

     -d      Specify  the  device  name  of  the  USB device to use, for example
	     /dev/umidi0.0 .

     -C      Specify the capture only device name of the USB device to use,  for
	     example /dev/umidi0.0 .

     -n      Specify  a  custom port name when registering with the JACK server.
	     The default value is "jack_midi".

     -P      Specify the playback only device name of the USB device to use, for
	     example /dev/umidi0.0 .

     -U      Specify which JACK user the program should attach to.   Default  is
	     same as running user.

     -h      Print help text showing available options.

EXAMPLES
	   # Start Jack MIDI client in background mode
	   jack_umidi -d /dev/umidi0.0 -B

	   # List all available JACK ports

	   # Connect two JACK ports
	   jack_connect port1 port2
