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  re-
     ceived  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 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.
