+.TH pd 1 "1996 Mar 20" GNU
+.SH NAME
+pd \- pure data
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pd is a graphical programming environment for real-time audio synthesis
+and related applications. It sports a rich set of real-time control
+and I/O features.
+.PP

+and for more documentation either start pd and get help, or consult

+.TH pdreceive 1 "1996 Mar 20" GNU
+.SH NAME
+pdreceive \- receive messages from pd on this or a remote machine
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pdreceive
+\fIport-number\fR [udp|tcp]
+.SH 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.
+.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.

+.TH pdsend 1 "1996 Mar 20" GNU
+.SH NAME
+pdsend \- send messages to pd on this or a remote machine
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pdsend
+\fIport-number\fR [\fIhostname\fR] [udp|tcp]
+.SH 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 another
+application. The protocol used is easy to implement and is called FUDI.
+.PP
+The \fIport number\fR should agree with the port number of a "netreceive" object
+within pd. The \fIhostname\fR 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.
+.PP
+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.
