;;; Commentary:

;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
;; a server for other processes.

;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
;; Emacs opens up a socket for communication with clients.  If there are no
;; client buffers to edit, server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer
;; (other-buffer))

;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.

;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.

;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next 
;; Server buffer.  When all the buffers for a client have been edited 
;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
;; to the program that invoked it.  

;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
;; the terminal in the usual way.  Thus, server operation is possible
;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
;; the client.  This is possible in four cases:

;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.

;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.

;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
;; as a subprocess of Emacs.

;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
;; "Waiting for Emacs...".  It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
;; brought into the foreground for editing.  When done editing, Emacs is
;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.

;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists 
;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.  
;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
