32 ;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
33 ;; a server for other processes.
35 ;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
36 ;; Emacs opens up a socket for communication with clients. If there are no
37 ;; client buffers to edit, server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer
40 ;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
41 ;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
42 ;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
43 ;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
45 ;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to Emacs to be edited.
47 ;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
48 ;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
49 ;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
50 ;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
51 ;; to the program that invoked it.
53 ;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
54 ;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
55 ;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
56 ;; the client. This is possible in four cases:
58 ;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
59 ;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
61 ;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
62 ;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.
64 ;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
65 ;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
67 ;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
68 ;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
69 ;; "Waiting for Emacs...". It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
70 ;; brought into the foreground for editing. When done editing, Emacs is
71 ;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.
73 ;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
74 ;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
75 ;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
76 ;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
80 ;; - handle command-line-args-left.
81 ;; - move most of the args processing and decision making from emacsclient.c
83 ;; - fix up handling of the client's environment (place it in the terminal?).

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

683 filter parses and executes these commands.
685 To illustrate the protocol, here is an example command that
686 emacsclient sends to create a new X frame (note that the whole
687 sequence is sent on a single line):
689 -env HOME /home/lorentey
691 ... lots of other -env commands
695 The following commands are accepted by the server:
698 Authenticate the client using the secret authentication string
702 An environment variable on the client side.
705 The current working directory of the client process.
708 Forbid the creation of new frames.
711 Request that the next frame created should not be
712 associated with this client.
715 Set the display name to open X frames on.
717 `-position LINE[:COLUMN]'
718 Go to the given line and column number
719 in the next file opened.
722 Load the given file in the current frame.
725 Evaluate EXPR as a Lisp expression and return the
726 result in -print commands.
731 `-tty DEVICENAME TYPE'
732 Open a new tty frame at the client.
735 Suspend this tty frame. The client sends this string in
736 response to SIGTSTP and SIGTTOU. The server must cease all I/O
737 on this tty until it gets a -resume command.
740 Resume this tty frame. The client sends this string when it
741 gets the SIGCONT signal and it is the foreground process on its

746 log. Useful for debugging.
749 The following commands are accepted by the client:
752 Describes the process id of the Emacs process;
753 used to forward window change signals to it.
755 `-window-system-unsupported'
756 Signals that the server does not support creating X frames;
757 the client must try again with a tty frame.
