pdreceive(1)		    General Commands Manual		  pdreceive(1)

NAME
       pdreceive - receive messages from pd on this or a remote	machine

SYNOPSIS
       pdreceive port-number [udp|tcp]

DESCRIPTION
       Pdreceive opens a socket	(with the specified port number) and waits for
       messages	 to  arrive from one or	more instances of pd(1).  Each message
       received	is printed to the standard output with a  trailing  semicolon.
       The protocol used is easy to implement and is called FUDI.

       The port	number should agree with the port number of a "netsend"	object
       within  pd.  The	protocol is "tcp" by default; this does	a handshake to
       guarantee that all messages arrive complete and in their	correct	order;
       if you are sending messages locally or point-to-point you can often get
       away with the faster udp	protocol instead.

       You can also use	this to	get messages from a Max	"pdnetsend" object  or
       even  just a "pdsend" in	another	shell.	If you're writing another pro-
       gram you're welcome to just grab	the sources for	 pdsend/pdreceive  and
       adapt them to your own ends; they're part of the	Pd distribution.
