@subsection Invoking @code{emacsclient}

  To run the @code{emacsclient} program, specify file names as arguments,
and optionally line numbers as well.  Do it like this:

@example
emacsclient @r{@{}@r{[}+@var{line}@r{[}@var{column}@r{]}@r{]} @var{filename}@r{@}}@dots{}
@end example

  But if you use the option @samp{-n} or @samp{--no-wait} when running
@code{emacsclient}, then it returns immediately.  (You can take as
long as you like to edit the files in Emacs.)

  The option @samp{--alternate-editor=@var{command}} is useful when
running @code{emacsclient} in a script.  It specifies a command to run
if @code{emacsclient} fails to contact Emacs.  For example, the
following setting for the @var{EDITOR} environment variable will
always give you an editor, even if no Emacs server is running:

@example
EDITOR="emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs +%d %s"
@end example

@noindent
The environment variable @var{ALTERNATE_EDITOR} has the same effect, but
the value of the @samp{--alternate-editor} takes precedence.

@pindex emacs.bash
  Alternatively, the file @file{etc/emacs.bash} defines a bash
function which will communicate with a running Emacs server, or start
one if none exists.
