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

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  de-
       vices  via the Jack system.  The	daemon will not	exit when a device be-
       comes unavailable, 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-con-
	       nect.

       -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
