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 opens up a socket for communication with clients. If there are no
35 ;; client buffers to edit, server-edit acts like (switch-to-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.
78 ;; - handle command-line-args-left.
79 ;; - move most of the args processing and decision making from emacsclient.c
81 ;; - fix up handling of the client's environment (place it in the terminal?).

725 PROC is the server process. STRING consists of a sequence of

728 The filter parses and executes these commands.
730 To illustrate the protocol, here is an example command that
731 emacsclient sends to create a new X frame (note that the whole
732 sequence is sent on a single line):
734 -env HOME=/home/lorentey
736 ... lots of other -env commands
740 The following commands are accepted by the server:
743 Authenticate the client using the secret authentication string
747 An environment variable on the client side.
750 The current working directory of the client process.
753 Forbid the creation of new frames.
756 Request that the next frame created should not be
757 associated with this client.
760 Set the display name to open X frames on.
762 `-position LINE[:COLUMN]'
763 Go to the given line and column number
764 in the next file opened.
767 Load the given file in the current frame.
770 Evaluate EXPR as a Lisp expression and return the
771 result in -print commands.
776 `-tty DEVICENAME TYPE'
777 Open a new tty frame at the client.
780 Suspend this tty frame. The client sends this string in
781 response to SIGTSTP and SIGTTOU. The server must cease all I/O
782 on this tty until it gets a -resume command.
785 Resume this tty frame. The client sends this string when it
786 gets the SIGCONT signal and it is the foreground process on its

791 Useful for debugging.
794 The following commands are accepted by the client:

800 `-window-system-unsupported'
801 Signals that the server does not support creating X frames;
