midicat — send to or receive from MIDI ports

       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.

       -ifile
               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.

       -ofile
               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.

       -qport
               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.

       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
