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 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.
