This is the command lyxclient that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
lyxclient - send commands to a running LyX editor
SYNOPSIS
lyxclient [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
When LyX starts, it creates a unique, per-process local socket in the temporary directory
through which commands can be sent. That is, it can act like a server, accepting
connections from clients. lyxclient can be used as such client. lyxclient will take care
of all connection and communication protocol details, leaving you (or your app) free to
concentrate on what you want to send to LyX.
SERVER IDENTIFICATION OPTIONS
lyxclient must first identify to which server (i.e. a running LyX) commands are to be
sent. The following options are used to specify the server.
-p pid
specify the pid of the running LyX process to which lyxclient should send commands.
-a socket_address
specify explicitly which socket special file should be used. These special files are
located inside lyx_tmpdir<lyx_pid><hash>, in the temporary directory. There is one
per running LyX process.
-t tmp_dir
if LyX is configured to use a temporary directory other than /tmp, you must inform
lyxclient of this.
If neither -a nor -p are invoked, lyxclient will search for sockets in /tmp (or tmp_dir if
the -t option is used) and use the first socket to which it can connect. This is safe if
you are running only one LyX process at any one time.
COMMAND MODE OPTIONS
lyxclient can send commands to LyX from both the command-line and from standard input.
LyX commands documentation can be found in LyX Help menu.
-c command
send a single command, print LyX information to standard output and exit. LYXCMD
prefix is needed in the given command.
-g file line
this is simply a wrapper for the command 'server-goto-file-row file line'. It is
used by the DVI previewer to elicit inverse DVI search.
If neither -c nor -g are used, lyxclient will regard any standard input as commands to be
sent to LyX, printing LyX's responses to standard output. Commands are separated by
newlines (the '\n' character). To finish communication and terminate the lyxclient
process, send the command 'BYE:'.
MISCELANEOUS OPTIONS
-n name
when starting communication, lyxclient sends an idenfifier string to LyX. By
default, this string is "PPID>PID", where PPID is lyxclient's parent pid and pid is
lyxclient's pid. Use this option to override this default.
-h print the lyxclient version and summarize its usage.
ENVIRONMENT
LYXSOCKET
can be used to specify the socket special file that must be used. LyX sets this
variable. It is overridden by the -a option.
