Pure Data (Pd) is a free and open source visual programming language for audio and other multimedia. It is a data-flow programming language that uses "objects" connected by wires. In the tradition of modular synthesizers, Pure Data files are often known as "patches."
[edit] Identifying Pure Data patch files
Pure Data patch files use the extension .pd, a custom plaintext format consisting of newline-delimited commands. File tend to start with #N canvas and contain numerous lines starting with #X obj and #X connect.
The format is "officially undocumented" but contributors have developed a rough specification.
