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 fol-
       lows:

       -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 sec-
	       ond 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
