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 stan- dard input. This input can be any stream of Pd messages separated by semi- colons. This is probably the easiest way to control pd from another appli- cation. The protocol used is easy to implement and is called FUDI. The port number should agree with the port number of a "netreceive" object 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.
