- ;GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Sun Aug 27 1989 on ho5cad (usg-unix-v)
- ;
- ;
- ;If I invoke emacsclient with the following arguments,
- ; +20 .profile +30 /etc/passwd .env
- ;
- ;On a SysV machine, emacsclient effectively sends
- ; $PWD/+20 $PWD/.profile $PWD/+30 /etc/passwd $PWD/.env
- ;
- ;but on a BSD machine, emacsclient effectively sends
- ; +20 $PWD/.profile +30 /etc/passwd $PWD/.env
- ;
- ;That is, the BSD main() is smart enough to recognize the difference
- ;between filename arguments and line number arguments, and prefix only
- ;(non-absolute) filenames with the current working directory.
- ;
- ;The fact that emacsclient handles line numbers is strange, since
- ;server.el doesn't handle them. There was a posting that I call
- ;server_num.el which does handle the \+[0-9]+ regexp recognition of
- ;line numbers. I have included a copy of it, in case you didn't catch
- ;it on the way through. It is a minor change to the server.el code.
- ;Server_num.el was apparently written by someone working on a SysV
- ;machine, because the regexp was looking for /\+[0-9]+, that is a
- ;leading "/" before the "+".
- ;
- ;Removing the "/" from the regep, and fixing the previous difference in
- ;emacsclient will allow the two packages to work together on either
- ;system.
- ;
- ;There was also another annoyance in the revert-buffer function of the
- ;server.el such that second and subsequent emacsclient requests for the
- ;same file would require user input to revert the file. That behavior
- ;is changed in the enclosed server_num.el
- ;
- ;A request for a future enhancement -- could you add code to have the
- ;server-edit do a kill-buffer on the current buffer. This action
- ;should be based on a prefix argument, since I don't always want this
- ;action.
- ;
- ;I have EDITOR set to emacsclient. At some times, this creates a lot
- ;of /tmp/$$ files from stuff like mailers, MR entry tools, and DB
- ;update tools. In these cases, the temporary files and their backup
- ;files are useless trash after finishing the file modification with
- ;C-#. Having them stick around clutters up emacs buffers, AND the file
- ;system. The application removes them, but emacs comes along later and
- ;auto-saves them and the backup versions of them.
- ;
- ;At other times, I have files brought into buffers from a code
- ;searching tool, or more(1). In this case, it would be nice to have
- ;the files stick around, and have normal auto-saving, since these are
- ;"REAL" files. The other ones were "TEMPORARY" files.
- ;
- ;If you have any questions about this, please call me (collect) or send
- ;E-mail.
- ;
- ;Thanks,
- ;Mike Balenger

- ;;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
- ;;; a server for other processes.
-
- ;;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
- ;;; Emacs runs the program ../etc/server as a subprocess
- ;;; for communication with clients. If there are no client buffers to edit,
- ;;; server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
-
- ;;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
- ;;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../etc/emacsclient.
- ;;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
- ;;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
-
- ;;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.
-
- ;;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
- ;;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
- ;;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
- ;;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
- ;;; to the program that invoked it.
-
- ;;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
- ;;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
- ;;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
- ;;; the client. This is possible in two cases:
-
- ;;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
- ;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
-
- ;;; 2. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
- ;;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
-
- ;;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
- ;;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
- ;;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
- ;;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
