💖 MIDI — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you typed man 7 midi and now you're here, in section 7 of the manual, and I'm gonna give you the whole tea. 🫖✨ This is the Open Sound System MIDI devices page, and yes, it is short. Not every icon is a long read. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

midi — Open Sound System MIDI devices 🎹🦋

😭 DESCRIPTION 😭

ngl bestie, this is the part where I have to break some news. MIDI support is not included in OSS 4.0. Not in it. It's just not there. 💀

But don't spiral!! It will be introduced in the future OSS versions. So like, it's giving "coming soon", main character energy, waiting in the wings. 🎀✨ Manifesting it fr fr.

🧚 PROGRAMMING INFORMATION 🧚

Wanna actually code against this? Then you need to go read the OSS MIDI Programming section of the OSS Programmer's Guide — that's MIDI(2) for the reference, iykyk. 📚💜 Go look, it's literally right there.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • None — yeah. There are none. Zero. Empty. A vibe check with nobody in the room. 🙈

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /dev/midi — this is the default MIDI device file in the system. That's the one, bestie. That's the spot. 🌈⭐
