If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; 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 opens up a socket 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 ../lib-src/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 four 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. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the ;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another. ;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running ;; as a subprocess of Emacs. ;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program ;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display ;; "Waiting for Emacs...". It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be ;; brought into the foreground for editing. When done editing, Emacs is ;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground. ;; 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. ;; Todo: ;; - handle command-line-args-left. ;; - move most of the args processing and decision making from emacsclient.c ;; to here. ;; - fix up handling of the client's environment (place it in the terminal?). ;;; Code: (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) (defgroup server nil "Emacs running as a server process." :group 'external) (defcustom server-use-tcp nil "If non-nil, use TCP sockets instead of local sockets." :set #'(lambda (sym val) (unless (featurep 'make-network-process '(:family local)) (setq val t) (unless load-in-progress (message "Local sockets unsupported, using TCP sockets"))) (when val (random t)) (set-default sym val)) :group 'server :type 'boolean :version "22.1") (defcustom server-host nil "The name or IP address to use as host address of the server process.

The client sends this string in response to SIGTSTP and SIGTTOU. The server must cease all I/O on this tty until it gets a -resume command. `-resume' Resume this tty frame. The client sends this string when it gets the SIGCONT signal and it is the foreground process on its controlling tty. `-ignore COMMENT' Do nothing, but put the comment in the server log. Useful for debugging. The following commands are accepted by the client: `-emacs-pid PID' Describes the process id of the Emacs process; used to forward window change signals to it. `-window-system-unsupported' Signals that the server does not support creating X frames; the client must try again with a tty frame. `-print STRING' Print STRING on stdout. Used to send values returned by -eval. `-error DESCRIPTION' Signal an error (but continue processing). `-suspend' Suspend this terminal, i.e., stop the client process. Sent when the user presses C-z."
