21 .TH EMACS 1 "2001 November 23" |
25852 | 22 .UC 4 |
23 .SH NAME | |
24 emacs \- GNU project Emacs | |
25 .SH SYNOPSIS | |

32 .br | |
33 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
34 .I GNU Emacs | |
35 is a version of | |
36 .I Emacs, | |
37 written by the author of the original (PDP-10) | |
38 .I Emacs, | |
39 Richard Stallman. | |
40 .br | |
41 The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is in the GNU Emacs Manual, | |
42 which you can read on line using Info, a subsystem of Emacs. Please | |
43 look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. This man page | |
44 is updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the Emacs | |
45 maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time this man | |
46 page takes away from other more useful projects. | |
47 .br | |
48 The user functionality of GNU Emacs encompasses | |
49 everything other | |
50 .I Emacs | |
51 editors do, and it is easily extensible since its | |
52 editing commands are written in Lisp. | |
53 .PP | |
54 .I Emacs | |
55 has an extensive interactive help facility, | |
56 but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate | |
57 .I Emacs | |
58 windows and buffers. | |

59 CTRL-h or F1 enters the Help facility. Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) |
25852 | 60 requests an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners the fundamentals |
61 of | |
62 .I Emacs | |
63 in a few minutes. | |
64 Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you | |
65 find a command given its functionality, Help Character (CTRL-h c) | |
66 describes a given character's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) | |
67 describes a given Lisp function specified by name. | |
68 .PP | |
69 .I Emacs's | |
70 Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is | |
71 easy to recover from editing mistakes. | |
72 .PP | |
73 .I GNU Emacs's | |
74 many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), | |
75 outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells | |
76 within | |
77 .I Emacs | |
78 windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop | |
79 (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), and automated psychotherapy (Doctor). | |
80 .PP | |
81 There is an extensive reference manual, but | |
82 users of other Emacses | |
83 should have little trouble adapting even | |
84 without a copy. Users new to | |
85 .I Emacs | |
86 will be able | |
87 to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and | |
88 using the self-documentation features. | |

175 .PP | |
176 .SM Using Emacs with X | |
177 .PP | |
178 .I Emacs | |
179 has been tailored to work well with the X window system. | |
180 If you run | |
181 .I Emacs | |
182 from under X windows, it will create its own X window to | |
183 display in. You will probably want to start the editor | |
184 as a background process | |
185 so that you can continue using your original window. | |
186 .PP | |
187 .I Emacs | |
188 can be started with the following X switches: | |
189 .TP 8 | |
190 .BI \-name " name" | |
191 Specifies the name which should be assigned to the initial | |
192 .I Emacs | |
193 window. This controls looking up X resources as well as the window title. | |
194 .TP 8 | |
195 .BI \-title " name" | |
196 Specifies the title for the initial X window. | |
197 .TP 8 | |
198 .B \-r | |
199 Display the | |
200 .I Emacs | |
201 window in reverse video. | |
202 .TP | |
203 .B \-i | |
204 Use the "kitchen sink" bitmap icon when iconifying the | |
205 .I Emacs | |
206 window. | |
207 .TP | |
208 .BI \-font " font, " \-fn " font" | |
209 Set the | |
210 .I Emacs | |
211 window's font to that specified by | |
212 .I font. | |
213 You will find the various | |
214 .I X | |
215 fonts in the | |
216 .I /usr/lib/X11/fonts | |
217 directory. | |
218 Note that | |
219 .I Emacs | |
220 will only accept fixed width fonts. | |
221 Under the X11 Release 4 font-naming conventions, any font with the | |
222 value "m" or "c" in the eleventh field of the font name is a fixed | |
223 width font. Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form | |
224 .IR width x height | |
225 are generally fixed width, as is the font | |
226 .IR fixed . | |
227 See | |
228 .IR xlsfonts (1) | |
229 for more information. | |
230 | |
231 When you specify a font, be sure to put a space between the | |
232 switch and the font name. | |
233 .TP | |
30349 | 234 .BI \-bw " pixels" |
25852 | 235 Set the |
236 .I Emacs | |
237 window's border width to the number of pixels specified by | |
238 .I pixels. | |
239 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window. | |
240 .TP | |
241 .BI \-ib " pixels" | |
242 Set the window's internal border width to the number of pixels specified | |
243 by | |
244 .I pixels. | |
245 Defaults to one pixel of padding on each side of the window. | |
246 .PP | |
247 .TP 8 | |
248 .BI \-geometry " geometry" | |
249 Set the | |
250 .I Emacs | |
251 window's width, height, and position as specified. The geometry | |
252 specification is in the standard X format; see | |
253 .IR X (1) | |
254 for more information. | |
255 The width and height are specified in characters; the default is 80 by | |
256 24. | |
257 .PP | |
258 .TP 8 | |
259 .BI \-fg " color" | |
260 On color displays, sets the color of the text. | |
261 | |
262 See the file | |
263 .I /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt | |
264 for a list of valid | |
265 color names. | |
266 .TP | |
267 .BI \-bg " color" | |
268 On color displays, | |
269 sets the color of the window's background. | |
270 .TP | |
271 .BI \-bd " color" | |
272 On color displays, | |
273 sets the color of the window's border. | |
274 .TP | |
275 .BI \-cr " color" | |
276 On color displays, | |
277 sets the color of the window's text cursor. | |
278 .TP | |
279 .BI \-ms " color" | |
280 On color displays, | |
281 sets the color of the window's mouse cursor. | |
282 .TP | |
283 .BI \-d " displayname, " \-display " displayname" | |
284 Create the | |
285 .I Emacs | |
286 window on the display specified by | |
287 .IR displayname . | |
288 Must be the first option specified in the command line. | |
289 .TP | |
290 .B \-nw | |
291 Tells | |
292 .I Emacs | |
293 not to use its special interface to X. If you use this | |
294 switch when invoking | |
295 .I Emacs | |
296 from an | |
297 .IR xterm (1) | |
298 window, display is done in that window. | |
299 This must be the first option specified in the command line. | |
300 .PP | |
301 You can set | |
302 .I X | |
303 default values for your | |
304 .I Emacs | |
305 windows in your | |
306 .I \.Xresources | |
307 file (see | |
308 .IR xrdb (1)). | |
309 Use the following format: | |
310 .IP | |
311 emacs.keyword:value | |
312 .PP | |
313 where | |
314 .I value | |
315 specifies the default value of | |
316 .I keyword. | |
317 .I Emacs | |
318 lets you set default values for the following keywords: | |
319 .TP 8 | |
320 .B font (\fPclass\fB Font) | |
321 Sets the window's text font. | |
322 .TP | |
323 .B reverseVideo (\fPclass\fB ReverseVideo) | |
324 If | |
325 .I reverseVideo's | |
326 value is set to | |
327 .I on, | |
328 the window will be displayed in reverse video. | |
329 .TP | |
330 .B bitmapIcon (\fPclass\fB BitmapIcon) | |
331 If | |
332 .I bitmapIcon's | |
333 value is set to | |
334 .I on, | |
335 the window will iconify into the "kitchen sink." | |
336 .TP | |
337 .B borderWidth (\fPclass\fB BorderWidth) | |
338 Sets the window's border width in pixels. | |
339 .TP | |

420 .SH MANUALS | |
421 You can order printed copies of the GNU Emacs Manual from the Free | |
422 Software Foundation, which develops GNU software. See the file ORDERS | |
423 for ordering information. | |
424 .br | |
425 Your local Emacs maintainer might also have copies available. As | |
426 with all software and publications from FSF, everyone is permitted to | |
427 make and distribute copies of the Emacs manual. The TeX source to the | |
428 manual is also included in the Emacs source distribution. | |
429 .PP | |
430 .SH FILES | |
431 /usr/local/info - files for the Info documentation browser | |
432 (a subsystem of Emacs) to refer to. Currently not much of Unix | |
433 is documented here, but the complete text of the Emacs reference | |
434 manual is included in a convenient tree structured form. | |
435 | |
436 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/src - C source files and object files | |
437 | |
438 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/lisp - Lisp source files and compiled files | |
439 that define most editing commands. Some are preloaded; | |
440 others are autoloaded from this directory when used. | |
441 | |
442 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/etc - various programs that are used with | |
443 GNU Emacs, and some files of information. | |
444 | |
445 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/etc/DOC.* - contains the documentation | |
446 strings for the Lisp primitives and preloaded Lisp functions | |
447 of GNU Emacs. They are stored here to reduce the size of | |
448 Emacs proper. | |
449 | |
450 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/etc/OTHER.EMACSES discusses GNU Emacs | |
451 vs. other versions of Emacs. | |
452 .br | |
453 /usr/local/share/emacs/$VERSION/etc/SERVICE lists people offering | |
454 various services to assist users of GNU Emacs, including education, | |
455 troubleshooting, porting and customization. | |
456 .br | |
457 These files also have information useful to anyone wishing to write | |
458 programs in the Emacs Lisp extension language, which has not yet been fully | |
459 documented. | |
460 | |
461 /usr/local/com/emacs/lock - holds lock files that are made for all | |
462 files being modified in Emacs, to prevent simultaneous modification | |
463 of one file by two users. | |
464 | |
465 .\" START DELETING HERE IF YOU'RE NOT USING X | |

469 .SH BUGS | |
470 There is a mailing list, bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu on the internet | |
471 (ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gnu-emacs on UUCPnet), for reporting Emacs | |
472 bugs and fixes. But before reporting something as a bug, please try | |
473 to be sure that it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or a | |
474 deliberate feature. We ask you to read the section ``Reporting Emacs | |
475 Bugs'' near the end of the reference manual (or Info system) for hints | |
476 on how and when to report bugs. Also, include the version number of | |
477 the Emacs you are running in \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in. | |
478 | |
479 Do not expect a personal answer to a bug report. The purpose of reporting | |
480 bugs is to get them fixed for everyone in the next release, if possible. | |
481 For personal assistance, look in the SERVICE file (see above) for | |
482 a list of people who offer it. | |
483 | |
484 Please do not send anything but bug reports to this mailing list. | |
485 Send requests to be added to mailing lists to the special list | |
486 info-gnu-emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu (or the corresponding UUCP | |
487 address). For more information about Emacs mailing lists, see the | |
488 file /usr/local/emacs/etc/MAILINGLISTS. Bugs tend actually to be | |
489 fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to report | |
490 them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced. | |
491 .PP | |
492 Bugs that I know about are: shell will not work with programs | |
493 running in Raw mode on some Unix versions. | |

508 Copies of | |
509 .I Emacs | |
510 may sometimes be received packaged with distributions of Unix systems, | |
511 but it is never included in the scope of any license covering those | |
512 systems. Such inclusion violates the terms on which distribution | |
513 is permitted. In fact, the primary purpose of the General Public | |
514 License is to prohibit anyone from attaching any other restrictions | |
515 to redistribution of | |
516 .I Emacs. | |
517 .PP | |
518 Richard Stallman encourages you to improve and extend | |
519 .I Emacs, | |
520 and urges that | |
521 you contribute your extensions to the GNU library. Eventually GNU | |
522 (Gnu's Not Unix) will be a complete replacement for Berkeley | |
523 Unix. | |
524 Everyone will be free to use, copy, study and change the GNU system. | |
