emacsclient - tells a running Emacs to visit a file |

!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
20 |
|

|

|
| |
|
22 |
This manual page documents briefly the __emacsclient__ |
| |
|
23 |
command. This manual page was written for the Debian |
| |
|
24 |
GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not |
| |
|
25 |
have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU |
| |
|
26 |
Info format; see below. |
| |
|
27 |

__emacsclient__ works in conjunction with the built-in |
| |
|
30 |
server of Emacs. |
| |
|
31 |
|
| |
|
32 |
|
| |
|
33 |
You typically does not call __emacsclient__ directly. |
| |
|
34 |
Instead, you set the environment variable EDITOR to |
| |
|
35 |
__emacsclient__ and let programs like 'vipw' or 'bug' or |
| |
|
36 |
anything run it for you, which will use an existing Emacs to |
| |
|
37 |
visit the file. |
| |
|
38 |
|
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|
40 |
For __emacsclient__ to work, you need an already running |
| |
|
41 |
Emacs with a server. Within Emacs, call the function |
| |
|
42 |
`server-start'. (Your `.emacs' file can do this |
| |
|
43 |
automatically if you add the expression `(server-start)' to |
| |
|
44 |
it.) |
| |
|
45 |
|
| |
|
46 |
|
| |
|
47 |
When you've finished editing the buffer, type `C-x #' |
| |
|
48 |
(`server-edit'). This saves the file and sends a message |
| |
|
49 |
back to the `emacsclient' program telling it to exit. The |
| |
|
50 |
programs that use `EDITOR' wait for the |
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
|
| |
|
53 |
If you set the variable `server-window' to a window or a |
| |
|
54 |
frame, `C-x #' displays the server buffer in that window or |
| |
|
55 |
in that frame. |
| |
|
56 |
!!OPTIONS |
| |
|
57 |
|
| |
|
58 |
|
| |
|
59 |
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with |
| |
|
60 |
long options starting with two dashes (`-'). |
| |
|
61 |
|
| |
|
62 |
|
| |
|
63 |
__-n, --no-wait__ |
| |
|
64 |
|
| |
|
65 |
|
| |
|
66 |
returns immediately without waiting for you to |
| |
|
67 |

The program is documented fully in ''Using Emacs as a |
| |
|
71 |
Server'' available via the Info system. |
| |
|
72 |
!!BUGS |
| |
|
73 |
|
| |
|
74 |
|
| |
|
75 |
If there is no running Emacs server, __emacsclient__ |
| |
|
76 |
cannot launch one. I use a small Perl script instead of raw |
| |
|
77 |
__emacsclient__ to do it (it works only with systems |
| |
|
78 |
which have BSD sockets, which is fine for Debian |
| |
|
79 |
GNU/Linux). |
