28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
31 ;; a server for other processes.
33 ;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
34 ;; Emacs runs the program ../arch-lib/emacsserver as a subprocess
35 ;; for communication with clients. If there are no client buffers to edit,
36 ;; server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
38 ;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
39 ;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
40 ;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
41 ;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
43 ;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.
45 ;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
46 ;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
47 ;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
48 ;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
49 ;; to the program that invoked it.
51 ;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
52 ;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
53 ;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
54 ;; the client. This is possible in four cases:
56 ;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
57 ;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
59 ;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
60 ;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.
62 ;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
63 ;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
65 ;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
66 ;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
67 ;; "Waiting for Emacs...". It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
68 ;; brought into the foreground for editing. When done editing, Emacs is
69 ;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.
71 ;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
72 ;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
73 ;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
74 ;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
