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 -server
If 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.
If you use this command without a filename, nedit-nc would randomly choose one window
to focus and execute the macro in.
-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>]
where `<width>' and `<height>' are the desired width and height of the window, and
`<xoffset>' and `<yoffset>' are the distance from the edge of the screen to the
window, + for top or left, - for bottom or right. -geometry can be specified for
individual files on the command line.
-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'.
Under rare conditions (such as a slow connection), it may be necessary to increase the
time-out period. In most cases, the default is fine.
-wait
Instructs nedit-nc not to return to the shell until all files given are closed.
Normally, nedit-nc returns once the files given in its command line are opened by the
server. When this option is given, nedit-nc returns only after the last file given in
this call is closed. Note that this option affects all files, not only the ones
following this option in the command line.
-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
