names that are temporary.

  If you run @code{emacsclient} with the option @samp{--no-wait}, it
returns immediately without waiting for you to ``finish'' the buffer in
Emacs.

  If you have forgotten to start Emacs, then the option
@samp{--alternate-editor=@var{command}} may be useful.  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 an editor, even if Emacs is not running.

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

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