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 standard input. This input can be any stream of Pd messages sepa-
rated 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.
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 pro-
gram 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.

sctp_darn - Send and receive messages via SCTP
SYNOPSIS
sctp_darn -H local_address -P local_port [-h remote_host] [-p remote_port] -l|s
DESCRIPTION
This is a userspace test application for the SCTP Linux kernel reference implementation state machine. It is vaguely inspired by Stevens'
program "sock".
It has the limited ability to send messages and to listen for messages sent via SCTP.
OPTIONS -H, --local local_address
specify one of the local addresses
-P, --local-port local_port
specify the port number for local addresses
-h, --remote remote_address
specify the peer address
-p, --remote-port remote_port
specify the port number for the peer address
-l, --listen
print messages received from the peer
-s, --send
send messages to the peer
-B, --bindx-add address
add the specified address(es) as additional bind addresses to the local socket. Multiple addresses can be specified by this argument
multiple times. For example, '-B 10.0.0.1 -B 20.0.0.2'.
-b, --bindx-rem address
remove the specified address(es) from the bind addresses of the local socket. Multiple addresses can be specified by this argument
multiple times. For example, '-b 10.0.0.1 -b 20.0.0.2'.
-I use the interactive mode.
-i setup the specified number of endpoints by using the specified local host (-H) and local port (-P). The port number will be incre-
mented by one for each additional endpoint. All of these endpoints will be listening. If a remote host (-h) and a remote port are
also specified, the first endpoint will start sending fixed sized messages to the remote host.
-m size
specify the sockopt sndbuf/rcvbuf size.
-n set the socket(s) to be in the non-blocking mode. collect messages from stdin and deliver them to the peer
--use-poll
use system call poll() for polling among the number of endpoints specified by the -i option. Without this option, select() would be
used as default.
-t use SOCK_STREAM tcp-style sockets.
-z size
specify the message size to be sent. The default message size generated would be 16K.
--interface ifname
select interface for sin6_scope_id.
