By "command line" you refer to starting a new emacs session or invoking
the emacs server with emacsclient?

The documentation says that find-file is used when visiting a file from
the command line (i.e. when you start emacs providing a file name). It
also mentions de syntax +LINE and +LINE:COLUMN for jumping to a specific
positiong. Here is an excerpt from the relevant info node:


C.1 Action Arguments
====================

Here is a table of action arguments:

‘FILE’
‘--file=FILE’
‘--find-file=FILE’
‘--visit=FILE’
     Visit FILE using ‘find-file’.  *Note Visiting::.

     When Emacs starts up, it displays the startup buffer in one window,
     and the buffer visiting FILE in another window (*note Windows::).
     If you supply more than one file argument, the displayed file is
     the last one specified on the command line; the other files are
     visited but their buffers are not shown.

     If the startup buffer is disabled (*note Entering Emacs::), then
     FILE is visited in a single window if one file argument was
     supplied; with two file arguments, Emacs displays the files in two
     different windows; with more than two file argument, Emacs displays
     the last file specified in one window, plus a Buffer Menu in a
     different window (*note Several Buffers::).  To inhibit using the
     Buffer Menu for this, change the variable
     ‘inhibit-startup-buffer-menu’ to ‘t’.

‘+LINENUM FILE’
     Visit FILE using ‘find-file’, then go to line number LINENUM in it.

‘+LINENUM:COLUMNNUM FILE’
     Visit FILE using ‘find-file’, then go to line number LINENUM and
     put point at column number COLUMNNUM.
