-emacs \- GNU project Emacs -. -. -.SH SYNOPSIS -.B emacs -[ -.I command-line switches -] [ -.I files ...\& -] -. -. -.SH DESCRIPTION -.I GNU Emacs -is a version of -.IR Emacs , -written by the author of the original (PDP-10) -.IR Emacs , -Richard Stallman. -.br -The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is in the GNU Emacs Manual, -which you can read using Info, either from Emacs or as a standalone -program. -Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. -This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the -Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time -this man page takes away from other more useful projects. -.br -The user functionality of GNU Emacs encompasses -everything other -.I Emacs -editors do, and it is easily extensible since its -editing commands are written in Lisp. -.PP -.I Emacs -has an extensive interactive help facility, -but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate -.I Emacs -windows and buffers. -CTRL-h or F1 enters the Help facility. -Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) starts an interactive tutorial which can -teach beginners the fundamentals of -.I Emacs -in a few minutes. -Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you -find a command given its functionality, Help Character (CTRL-h c) -describes a given character's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) -describes a given Lisp function specified by name. -.PP -.IR Emacs 's -Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is -easy to recover from editing mistakes. -.PP -.IR "GNU Emacs" 's -many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), -outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells -within -.I Emacs -windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop -(Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor), and much more. -.PP -There is an extensive reference manual, but -users of other Emacses -should have little trouble adapting even -without a copy. -Users new to -.I Emacs -will be able -to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and -using the self-documentation features. -. -.SS Emacs Options -The following options are of general interest: -.RS -.TP 8 -.I file -Edit -.IR file . -.TP -.BI \-\-file " file\fR,\fP " \-\-find-file " file\fR,\fP " \-\-visit " file" -The same as specifying -.I file -directly as an argument. -.TP -.BI + number -Go to the

the init file. -.TP -.BI \-u " user\fR,\fP " \-\-user " user" -Load -.IR user 's -init file. -.TP -.BI \-t " file\fR,\fP " \-\-terminal " file" -Use specified -.I file -as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout. -This must be the first argument specified in the command line. -.TP -.BR \-\-multibyte ", " \-\-no-unibyte -Enable multibyte mode (enabled by default). -.TP -.BR \-\-unibyte ", " \-\-no-multibyte -Enable unibyte mode. -.TP -.B \-\-version -Display -.I Emacs -version information and exit. -.TP -.B \-\-help -Display this help and exit. -.RE -.PP -The following options are

Emacs -searches for Lisp files. -.RE -. -.\" START DELETING HERE IF YOU'RE NOT USING X -.SS Using Emacs with X -.I Emacs -has been tailored to work well with the X window system. -If you run -.I Emacs -from under X windows, it will create its own X window to -display in. -You will probably want to start the editor as a background -process so that you can continue using your original window. -.PP -.I Emacs -can be started with the following X switches: -.RS -.TP 8 -.BI \-\-name " name" -Specify the name which should be assigned to the initial -.I Emacs -window. -This controls looking up X

the font name is a fixed -width font. -Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form -.IR width x height -are generally fixed width, as is the font -.IR fixed . -See -.BR xlsfonts (1) -for more
