Each +message received is printed to the standard output with a trailing semicolon. +The protocol used is easy to implement and is called FUDI. +.PP +The \fIport number\fR 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. +.PP +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. +.SH SEE ALSO +pd(1), pdsend(1) |
