How do I use the /particle command in Vanilla Minecraft?

How do I use the /particle command in Vanilla Minecraft? - Crop hacker silhouette typing on computer keyboard while hacking system

The command instructions say

/particle <name> <x> <y> <z> <xd> <yd> <zd> <speed> [count] [mode]

but how do I use those? I understand the <x>, <y> and <z>, but first of all, what are <xd>, <yd>, and <zd>? Also, what does the speed do, and how much does any given number change it? What do count and mode do?

I basically just want to know what all the positional and optional arguments in the /particle command do, and how I can effectively use them.
