     5  * Translates text from standard input to a hex-formatted System Exclusive (SysEx) message for Roland MT-32,
     6  * which instructs the unit to show given text on the display.
     7  * 
     8  * Roland MT-32 is capable to display 20 characters.
     9  * Longer messages are silently truncated by the MT-32 unit (this software does not check the length).
    10  * 
    11  * The SysEx message contains a checksum.
    12  * If the checksum is wrong, the MT-32 unit shows the "Exc. Checksum error" message for few seconds
    13  * and then returns back to the default screen.
    14  * 
    15  * Usage:
    16  *     amidi --port="hw:2,0,0" --send-hex="$(echo -n '   Run GNU/Linux    ' | ./mt-32-display )"
    17  * 
    18  * @param argc
    19  * @param argv
    20  * @return
