Thanks Eli.
Allow me a few comments.
On the "-c" option:
> [...] Emacs can create a graphical frame even if it was started in a
> text-only terminal, provided it is able to connect to a graphical
> display, and provided it can create graphical frames when started
> from a text-only terminal.
Isn't this wording a bit awkward? "Emacs can do X, provided it is
able to do Y, and provided it can do X"
On the "-t" option:
> Create a new Emacs frame on the current text-only terminal, instead
> of using an existing Emacs frame. If Emacs can open a text-only
> terminal even if it was started in another text-only terminal, or on
> a graphical display, it will create a text-only frame on the current
> terminal.
That is, "Do X instead of Y. If Emacs can do X even if Z, it will do
X.". Not much clean, IMHO.
> Otherwise(2), it will create a new frame, either GUI or text-only,
> on the same terminal where Emacs was started.
Here the last part ("on the same terminal where...") gives the
impression that the new frame will be created on a terminal,
regardless of whether it is GUI or text-only.
Also, in the case that the new frame is text-only, it's not clear
whether the frame will be created in the current terminal one or in
the server one.
