MIDICAT(1)		     General Commands Manual		      MIDICAT(1)

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
