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