It's just a midi file dumper which supports filtering:

\score {
\relative c' {
  c4
}
\midi { }
}

lilymidi --dump test.midi

((1, 1536), [[(0, (255, 3, 'control track')), (0, (255, 1, 'creator:
')), (0, (255, 1, 'GNU LilyPond 2.13.34          ')),
(0, (255, 88, '\x04\x02\x12\x08')), (0, (255, 81, '\x0fB@')), (0,
(255, 47, ''))],
[(0, (255, 3, '')), (0, (145, 60, 90)), (384, (145, 60, 0)), (384,
(255, 47, ''))]])

It's used by the Festival song support to mix synthesized voices with
LilyPond-generated accompaniment.
