Re: about the undocumented options -psn_*

[Jan Djärv]

Hello.

When started from the GUI (Dock, Finder, open), the launcher adds a -psn_hi_low 
option where hi and low are numbers (hi usually 0) that form the process serial 
number.  Not sure what it is used for.  If however you pass any argument to the 
program, like:

% open -a Emacs --args -Q

no -psn-option is passed.

In Emacs it acts like a "started from GUI"-detector.
