pdsend(1)		    General Commands Manual		     pdsend(1)

NAME
       pdsend -	send messages to pd on this or a remote	machine

SYNOPSIS
       pdsend port-number [hostname] [udp|tcp]

DESCRIPTION
       Pdsend  sends  messages to pd(1), via a socket conection, from pdsend's
       standard	input.	This input can be any stream of	Pd messages  separated
       by semicolons.  This is probably	the easiest way	to control pd from an-
       other  application.   The  protocol  used  is  easy to implement	and is
       called FUDI.

       The port	number should agree with the port number of a "netreceive" ob-
       ject within pd.	The hostname is	"localhost" by default and  can	 be  a
       domain  name  or	an IP address.	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	talk to	a Max "pdnetreceive"  object  or  even
       just a "pdreceive" in another shell.  If	you're writing another program
       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.
