630cc463 26;;; Commentary:
9ae0f972 27
28;;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
29;;; a server for other processes.
30
31;;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
87855006 32;;; Emacs runs the program ../arch-lib/emacsserver as a subprocess
9ae0f972 33;;; for communication with clients. If there are no client buffers to edit,
34;;; server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
35
36;;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
87855006 37;;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
9ae0f972 38;;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
39;;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
40
41;;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.
42
43;;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
44;;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
45;;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
46;;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
47;;; to the program that invoked it.
48
49;;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
50;;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
51;;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
52;;; the client. This is possible in four cases:
53
54;;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
55;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
56
57;;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
58;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.
59
60;;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
61;;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
62
63;;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
64;;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
65;;; "Waiting for Emacs...". It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
66;;; brought into the foreground for editing. When done editing, Emacs is
67;;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.
68
69;;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
70;;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
71;;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
72;;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
