-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B aconnect
-is a utility to connect and disconnect two existing ports on ALSA sequencer
-system.
-The ports with the arbitrary subscription permission, such as created
-by
-.B aseqview(1),
-can be connected to any (MIDI) device ports using
-.B aconnect.
-For example, to connect from port 64:0 to 65:0, run as follows:
-.IP "" 4
-% aconnect 64:0 65:0
-.PP
-The connection is one-way, and the whole data to the sender port (64:0)
-is redirected to the receiver port (65:0). When another port (e.g. 65:1)
-is attached to the same sender port, the data is sent to both receiver
-ports.
-For disconnection, use
-.B \-d
-option.
-.sp
-.EX
-% aconnect \-d 64:0 65:0
-.EE
-.PP
-The address can be given using the client's name.
-.sp
-.EX
-% aconnect External:0 Emu8000:1
-.EE
-.PP
-Then the port 0 of the client matching with the string "External" is
-connected to the port 1 of the client matching with the "Emu8000".
-.PP
-Another function of
-.B aconnect
-is to list the present ports
-on the given condition.
-The input ports, which may become
-.I sender
-ports, can be listed with
-.B \-i
-option.
-.sp
-.EX
-% aconnect \-i
-client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
- 0 'Timer '
- 1 'Announce '
-client 64: 'External MIDI\-0' [type=kernel]
- 0 'MIDI 0\-0 '
-.EE
-.PP
-Similarly, to see the output ports, use
-.B \-o
-flag.
-.PP
-You can remove all existing exported connections using
-.B \-x
-option. This function is useful for terminating the ALSA drivers,
-because the modules with sequencer connections cannot be unloaded
-unless their connections are removed.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.SS CONNECTION MANAGEMENT
-.TP
-.B \-d, \-\-disconnect
-Disconnect the given subscription.
-.TP
-.B \-e, \-\-exclusive
-Connect ports with exclusive mode.
-Both sender and receiver ports can be no longer connected by any other ports.
-.TP
-.B \-r, \-\-real queue
-Convert time-stamps of event packets to the current value of the given
-.I real-time
-queue.
-This is option is, however, not so useful, since
-the receiver port must use (not necessarily own) the specified queue.
-.TP
-.B \-t, \-\-tick queue
-Like
-.B \-r
-option, but
-time-stamps are converted to the current value of the given
-.I tick
-queue.
-
-.SS LIST PORTS
-.TP
-.B \-i, \-\-input
-List existing input (readable) ports.
-This option is exclusive to
-.B \-o.
-.TP
-.B \-o, \-\-output
-List existing output (writable) ports.
-This option is exclusive to
-.B \-i.
-.TP
-.B \-l, \-\-list
-List the current connection status. The connected and connecting ports
-from/to each port are listed together.
-The suffix flag
-.B [ex]
-means the connection is exclusive.
-The suffix flag
-.B [real:#]
-and
-.B [tick:#]
-mean the connection includes real-time and tick conversion on the listed
-queue, respectively.
-
-.SS REMOVE ALL CONNECTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-x, \-\-removeall
-Remove all exported connections.
