(#includes): Allow compilation with only Xaw.
(xaw3d_arrow_scroll, xaw3d_pick_top): New variables.
(xt_action_hook): Replace XAW3D by XAW.
(xaw3d_jump_callback): Renamed to xaw_jump_callback.
(xaw_jump_callback): Renamed from xaw3d_jump_callback.
Determine epsilon dynamically and don't try to be too clever.
(xaw3d_scroll_callback): Renamed to xaw_scroll_callback.
(xaw_scroll_callback): Renamed from xaw3d_scroll_callback.
Handle both Xaw3d with arrow-scrollbars and with Xaw-style
scrollbar (using `ratio').
(x_create_toolkit_scroll_bar): Try to detect which style of Xaw3d
scrollbar we have so as to set it up more optimally and to fix
xaw3d_arrow_scroll and xaw3d_pick_top.
(x_set_toolkit_scroll_bar_thumb): Try to maintain 2 spare pixels at the
bottom of the Xaw3d scrollbar, to work around its tendency to refuse
shrinking the thumb. Also make sure that `XawScrollbarSetThumb'
is not ignored, using a major gross hack.
(x_initialize): Init default values for xaw3d_arrow_scroll and
xaw3d_pick_top.

.TH EMACSCLIENT 1 .\" NAME should be all caps, SECTION should be 1-8, maybe w/ subsection .\" other parms are allowed: see man(7), man(1) .SH NAME emacsclient \- tells a running Emacs to visit a file .SH SYNOPSIS .B emacsclient .I "[options] files ..." .SH "DESCRIPTION" This manual page documents briefly the .BR emacsclient command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. .PP .B emacsclient works in conjunction with the built-in server of Emacs. .PP You typically does not call .B emacsclient directly. Instead, you set the environment variable EDITOR to .B emacsclient and let programs like 'vipw' or 'bug' or anything run it for you, which will use an existing Emacs to visit the file. For .B emacsclient to work, you need an already running Emacs with a server. Within Emacs, call the function `server-start'. (Your `.emacs' file can do this automatically if you add the expression `(server-start)' to it.) When you've finished editing the buffer, type `C-x #' (`server-edit'). This saves the file and sends a message back to the `emacsclient' program telling it to exit. The programs that use `EDITOR' wait for the "editor" (actually, `emacsclient') to exit. `C-x #' also checks for other pending external requests to edit various files, and selects the next such file. If you set the variable `server-window' to a window or a frame, `C-x #' displays the server buffer in that window or in that frame. .SH OPTIONS The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). .TP .B \-n, \-\-no-wait returns immediately without waiting for you to "finish" the buffer in Emacs. .SH "SEE ALSO" The program is documented fully in .IR "Using Emacs as a Server" available via the Info system. .SH BUGS If there is no running Emacs server, .B emacsclient cannot launch one. I use a small Perl script instead of raw .B emacsclient to do it (it works only with systems which have BSD sockets, which is fine for Debian GNU/Linux). .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
