Where can I find a list l of the jack_ utilities

Post by Plug&Play »

I'm not exactly a newb, but this is certainly a newbie question!

I have stumbled upon and used jack_lsp, jack_rec, jack_iodelay and probably others, but I can not find a tutorial, or even a list with brief descriptions.

I don't even know how many are on my system!
Wait, google found

Code: Select all

compgen -c | grep jack_
Is there a web site for these utilities?
I tried

Code: Select all

$ man jack_rec
    No manual entry for jack_rec

Some of them don't have man page nor help, for example jack_midisine.
