This manual page documents briefly the

! 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.

- You typically do 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

! .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

do not visit files but instead evaluate the arguments as Emacs
Lisp expressions.
.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.
.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).
