MIDIREAD(N)                            N                           MIDIREAD(N)

NAME
     midiread - tclmidi command to read a MIDI song from a Standard MIDI File

SYNOPSIS
     midiread FileID

DESCRIPTION
     midiread is a tclmidi(1) command that reads a Standard MIDI File and
     converts it to a MIDI song for use by other tclmidi(1) commands.

     midiread takes one argument that specifies a file descriptor from which
     to read the Standard MIDI File.  This argument should be a value returned
     by the open(n) tcl command, or ``stdin.''

     Since midiread allocates space for the MIDI song, midifree(n) should be
     used when the file is no longer needed.

RETURN VALUES
     midiread returns a MIDI song descriptor that may be used by other
     tclmidi(1) commands.

SEE ALSO
     tclmidi(1), open(n), midifree(n)
