medit - text editor
SYNOPSIS¶
medit [
OPTION]... [
FILES]
DESCRIPTION¶
medit is a text editor.
OPTIONS¶
- -n, --new-app
- run new instance of medit. By default medit
opens FILES (or creates a new document if none are given) in an
existing instance of application
- -s, --use-session[=yes|no]
- load and save session. By default medit does it when
-n is not used. If this option is not given on command line then
medit uses the corresponding preferences setting.
- --pid PID
- use existing instance with process id PID.
- --app-name NAME
- use instance name NAME. If an instance with this
name is already running, then it will send files given on the command line
to that instance and exit.
- -e, --encoding ENCODING
- use provided character encoding to open the file
- -l, --line LINE
- open file and position cursor on line LINE.
Alternatively line number may be specified with filename, e.g. medit
foo.txt:12
- -r, --reload
- automatically reload opened file if it was modified on disk
by another program.
- -w, --new-window
- open file in a new window.
- -t, --new-tab
- open file in a new tab.
- --log-file FILE
- write debug output into FILE. This option is only
useful on Windows.
- --log-window
- show debug output in a log window. This option is only
useful on Windows.
- --debug DOMAINS
- enable debug output for DOMAINS (if medit was
compiled with --enable-debug option).
- --geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT
- --geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y
- default window size and position.
- -h, --help
- show summary of options.
- -v, --version
- show program version.
- FILES
- list of files to open. Filenames may include line numbers
after colon, e.g. /tmp/file.txt:200. Trailing colon is ignored.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- MEDIT_PID
- if set, it is used as --pid argument. When medit spawns a
process (e.g. a DVI viewer) it sets MEDIT_PID to its own process id, so
the child process may in turn simply use 'medit filename' to open a file
(e.g. for inverse DVI search).
