DESCRIPTION¶
nedit-nc is the client interface to the NEdit text editor. A server can be started explicitly by running NEdit in server mode:nedit -serverIf no server is running, nedit-nc will start one unless configured otherwise. Client/server mode is useful for integrating NEdit with software development environments, mailers, and other programs; or just as a quick way to open files from the shell command line without starting a new NEdit session.
OPTIONS¶
- -read
- Open the file read-only regardless of the actual file protection.
- -create
- Don't warn about file creation when a file doesn't exist.
- -line n, +n
- Go to line number n.
- -do command
- Execute an NEdit macro or action on the file following the
-do argument on the command line.
- -ask, -noask
- Instructs nedit-nc whether to automatically start a server if one is not available. This overrides the X resource `nc.autoStart'.
- -svrname name
- Explicitly instructs nedit-nc which server to connect to, an instance of nedit(1) with a corresponding -svrname argument. By naming servers, you can run several simultaneously, and direct files and commands specifically to any one.
- -svrcmd command
- The command which nedit-nc uses to start an NEdit server. It is also settable via the X resource `nc.serverCommand', by default, "nedit -server".
- -lm languagemode
- Initial language mode used for editing succeeding files.
- -geometry geometry, -g geometry
- The initial size and/or location of editor windows. The
argument geometry has the form:
[<width>x<height>][+|-][<xoffset>[+|-]<yoffset>]
- -icon, -iconic
- Initial window state for succeeding files.
- -display [host]:server[.screen]
- The name of the X server to use. host specifies the machine, server specifies the display server number, and screen specifies the screen number. host or screen can be omitted and default to the local machine, and screen 0.
- -timeout seconds
- Basic time-out period (in seconds) used in communication
with an NEdit server. Default: 10 seconds. Also settable via the X
resource `nc.timeOut'.
- -wait
- Instructs nedit-nc not to return to the shell until
all files given are closed.
- -xrm resourcestring
- Set the value of an X resource to override a default value.
- -tabbed
- Open all subsequent files in new tabs. Resets -group option.
- -untabbed
- Open all subsequent files in new windows. Resets -group option.
- -group
- Open all subsequent files as tabs in a new window.
- -V, -version
- Prints version and build information, to be mentioned when reporting bugs and problems.
- -h, -help
- Prints the command line help and then exits.
- --
- Treats all subsequent arguments as file names, even if they start with a dash. This is so NEdit can access files that begin with the dash character.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- DISPLAY
- NEdit requires an X-based workstation or X-Terminal. If you
have used telnet or rlogin to access the host Unix system,
set the Unix environment variable for your display:
% setenv DISPLAY devicename:0
NOTES¶
Communication between nedit-nc(1) and nedit(1) is through the X display. So as long as X windows is set up and working properly, nedit-nc will work properly as well. nedit-nc uses the `DISPLAY' environment variable, the machine name and your user name to find the appropriate server, meaning, if you have several machines sharing a common file system, nedit-nc will not be able to find a server that is running on a machine with a different host name, even though it may be perfectly appropriate for editing a given file. In typical Unix style, arguments affect the files which follow them on the command line, for example:- incorrect:
-
nedit-nc file.c -line 25
- correct:
-
nedit-nc -line 25 file.c
