.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.  Full documentation is available in the GNU Info format; see
below.
This manual page was originally written for the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution, but is not specific to that system.
.PP
.B emacsclient
works in conjunction with the built-in Emacs server.
.PP
You can either call
.B emacsclient
directly or let other programs run it for you when necessary.  On
GNU and Unix systems many programs consult the environment
variable EDITOR (sometimes also VISUAL) to obtain the command used for
editing.  Thus, setting this environment variable to 'emacsclient'
will allow these programs to use an already running Emacs for editing.
Other operating systems might have their own methods for defining the
default editor.

For
.B emacsclient
to work, you need an already running Emacs with a server.  Within Emacs,
call the functions `server-start' or `server-mode'.  (Your `.emacs' file
can do this automatically if you add either `(server-start)' or
`(server-mode 1)' 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.
.TP
.B \-e, \-\-eval
do not visit files but instead evaluate the arguments as Emacs
Lisp expressions.
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-socket-name=FILENAME
use socket named FILENAME for communication.
.TP
.B \-f, \-\-server-file=FILENAME
use TCP configuration file FILENAME for communication.
This can also be specified via the `EMACS_SERVER_FILE' environment variable.
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-alternate-editor=EDITOR
if the Emacs server is not running, run the specified editor instead.
This can also be specified via the `ALTERNATE_EDITOR' environment variable.
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-display=DISPLAY
tell the server to display the files on the given display.
.TP
.B \-V, \-\-version
print version information and exit
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
print this usage information message and exit
.SH "SEE ALSO"
The program is documented fully in
.IR "Using Emacs as a Server"
available via the Info system.
