- ;;; 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.
