jack_lsp [options] [filter string]

is able to print all jack ports (Audio and MIDI).

From the help-text:

List active Jack ports, and optionally display extra information.
Optionally filter ports which match ALL strings provided after any options.

Display options:

        -s, --server <name>   Connect to the jack server named <name>

        -A, --aliases         List aliases for each port

        -c, --connections     List connections to/from each port

        -l, --latency         Display per-port latency in frames at each port

        -L, --latency         Display total latency in frames at each port

        -p, --properties      Display port properties. Output may include:

                              input|output, can-monitor, physical, terminal



        -t, --type            Display port type

        -h, --help            Display this help message

        --version             Output version information and exit

For more information see http://jackaudio.org/

to connect the ports from the command line, you can use jack_connect.

with jack_lsp you could get an output like this showing all current jack ports:

system:capture_1

system:capture_2

system:playback_1

system:playback_2

system:midi_capture_1

system:midi_playback_1

amsynth:L out

amsynth:R out

amsynth:midi_in

system:midi_playback_2

system:midi_capture_2

as an example you could connect system:midi_capture_1 with amsynth:midi_in by running: jack_connect system:midi_capture_1 amsynth:midi_in

To see which ports are connected you could use jack_lsp -c and get an output similar to this:

system:capture_1

system:capture_2

system:playback_1

   amsynth:L out

system:playback_2

   amsynth:R out

system:midi_capture_1

   amsynth:midi_in

system:midi_playback_1

amsynth:L out

   system:playback_1

amsynth:R out

   system:playback_2

amsynth:midi_in

   system:midi_capture_1

system:midi_playback_2

system:midi_capture_2
