- ;;; 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 runs the program ../arch-lib/emacsserver 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 ../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.
