• GnuClient - for XEmacs and older GNUs?
  • edit multiple files - while Emacs is already running

  • if server is started, use emacsclient instead of emacs to start a editing-session.

When this is done, Emacs starts a subprocess running a program called "server". "server" creates a Unix domain socket in the user's home directory named .emacs_server.

• When the user is done editing a file, the user can type "C-x #" (or M-x server-edit) to indicate this.

When you start the Emacs server (by calling server-start), Emacs creates a file with information about TCP connection to the server: the host where Emacs is running, the port where it is listening, and an authentication string. emacsclient uses this information if it needs to connect to the server via TCP.
