             Specifies the name of the sndio(7) MIDI device.

     -g      Send a ``General MIDI On'' system exclusive message to the de-
             vice.

     -m      Show MIDI file meta events (copyright, lyrics, etc.).

     -q      Do not play the MIDI file, just parse it.

     -t tempo
             Specifies the tempo.  Default is 100.

     -v      Be verbose.  If the flag is repeated, the verbosity increases.
