+emacs \- GNU project Emacs +. +. +.SH SYNOPSIS +.B emacs +[ +.I command-line switches +] [ +.I files ...\& +] +. +. +.SH DESCRIPTION +.I GNU Emacs +is a version of +.IR Emacs , +written by the author of the original (PDP-10) +.IR Emacs , +Richard Stallman. +.br +The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is in the GNU Emacs Manual, +which you can read using Info, either from Emacs or as a standalone +program. +Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. +This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the +Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time +this man page takes away from other more useful projects. +.br +The user functionality of GNU Emacs encompasses +everything other +.I Emacs +editors do, and it is easily extensible since its +editing commands are written in Lisp. +.PP +.I Emacs +has an extensive interactive help facility, +but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate +.I Emacs +windows and buffers. +CTRL-h or F1 enters the Help facility. +Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) starts an interactive tutorial which can +teach beginners the fundamentals of +.I Emacs +in a few minutes. +Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you +find a command given its functionality, Help Character (CTRL-h c) +describes a given character's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) +describes a given Lisp function specified by name. +.PP +.IR Emacs 's +Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is +easy to recover from editing mistakes. +.PP +.IR "GNU Emacs" 's +many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), +outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile), running subshells +within +.I Emacs +windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop +(Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy (Doctor), and much more. +.PP +There is an extensive reference manual, but +users of other Emacses +should have little trouble adapting even +without a copy. +Users new to +.I Emacs +will be able +to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and +using the self-documentation features. +. +.SS Emacs Options +The following options are of general interest: +.RS +.TP 8 +.I file +Edit +.IR file . +.TP +.BI \-\-file " file\fR,\fP " \-\-find-file " file\fR,\fP " \-\-visit " file" +The same as specifying +.I file +directly as an argument. +.TP +.BI + number +Go to the

+from under X windows, it will create its own X window to +display in. +You will probably want to start the editor as a background +process so that you can continue using your original window. +.PP +.I Emacs +can be started with the following X switches: +.RS +.TP 8 +.BI \-\-name " name" +Specify the name which should be assigned to the initial +.I Emacs +window. +This controls looking up X resources as well as the window title. +.TP +.BI \-T " name\fR,\fP " \-\-title " name" +Specify the title for the initial X window. +.TP +.BR \-r ", " \-rv ", " \-\-reverse\-video +Display the +.I

/usr/lib/X11/fonts +directory. +Note that +.I Emacs +will only accept fixed width fonts. +Under the X11 Release 4 font-naming conventions, any font with the +value "m" or "c" in the eleventh field of the font name is a fixed +width font. +Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form +.IR width x height +are generally fixed width, as is the font +.IR fixed . +See +.BR xlsfonts (1) +for more

Full documentation is available in the GNU Info format; see +below. +This manual page was originally written for the Debian GNU/Linux +distribution, but is not specific to that system. +.PP +.B emacsclient +works in conjunction with the built-in Emacs server. +.PP +You can either call +.B emacsclient +directly or let other programs run it for you when necessary. On +GNU and Unix systems many programs consult the environment +variable EDITOR (sometimes also VISUAL) to obtain the command used for +editing. Thus, setting this environment variable to 'emacsclient' +will allow these programs to use an already running Emacs for editing. +Other operating systems might have their own methods for defining the +default editor. + +For +.B emacsclient +to work, you need an already running Emacs with a server. Within Emacs, +call the functions `server-start' or `server-mode'.

Both forms of the program understand +the syntax of C, Objective C, C++, Java, Fortran, Ada, Cobol, Erlang, HTML, +LaTeX, Emacs Lisp/Common Lisp, Lua, makefile, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Postscript, +Python, Prolog, Scheme and +most assembler\-like syntaxes. +Both forms read the files specified on the command line, and write a tag +table (defaults: \fBTAGS\fP for \fBetags\fP, \fBtags\fP for +\fBctags\fP) in the current working directory. +Files specified with relative file names will be recorded in the tag +table with file names relative to the directory where the tag table +resides. If the tag table is in /dev, however, the file names are made +relative to the working directory. Files specified with absolute file +names will be recorded +with absolute file names. Files generated from a source file\-\-like +a C file generated from a source Cweb file\-\-will be recorded with +the name of the source file. +The programs recognize the language used in an input file based on its +file name and contents. The \fB\-\-language\fP switch can be used to force +parsing of the file names following the switch according to the given +language, overriding guesses based on filename extensions. +.SH OPTIONS +Some options make sense only for the \fBvi\fP style tag files produced +by ctags; +\fBetags\fP does not recognize them. +The programs accept unambiguous abbreviations for long option names. +.TP +.B \-a, \-\-append +Append to existing tag file. (For \fBvi\fP-format tag files, see also +\fB\-\-update\fP.) +.TP +.B \-B, \-\-backward\-search +Tag files written in the format expected by \fBvi\fP contain regular +expression search instructions; the \fB\-B\fP option writes them using +the delimiter `\|\fB?\fP\|', to search \fIbackwards\fP through files. +The default is to use the delimiter `\|\fB/\fP\|', to search \fIforwards\fP +through files. +Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-\-declarations +In C and derived languages, create tags for function declarations, +and create tags for extern variables unless \-\-no\-globals is used. +.TP +.B \-d, \-\-defines +Create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions +and enum constants, too. Since this is the default behavior of +\fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-D, \-\-no\-defines +Do not create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions +and enum constants. +This may make the tags file much smaller if many header files are tagged. +Since this is the default behavior of \fBctags\fP, only \fBetags\fP +accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-\-globals +Create tag entries for global variables in C, C++, Objective C, Java, +and Perl. +Since this is the default behavior of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP +accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-\-no\-globals +Do not tag global variables. Typically this reduces the file size by +one fourth. Since this is the default behavior of \fBctags\fP, only +\fBetags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +\fB\-i\fP \fIfile\fP, \fB\-\-include=\fIfile\fP +Include a note in the tag file indicating that, when searching for a +tag, one should also consult the tags file \fIfile\fP after checking the +current file. Only \fBetags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-I, \-\-ignore\-indentation +Don't rely on indentation as much as we normally do. Currently, this +means not to assume that a closing brace in the first column is the +final brace of a function or structure definition in C and C++. +.TP +\fB\-l\fP \fIlanguage\fP, \fB\-\-language=\fIlanguage\fP +Parse the following files according to the given language. More than +one such options may be intermixed with filenames. Use \fB\-\-help\fP +to get a list of the available languages and their default filename +extensions. The `auto' language can be used to restore automatic +detection of language based on the file name. The `none' +language may be used to disable language parsing altogether; only +regexp matching is done in this case (see the \fB\-\-regex\fP option). +.TP +.B \-\-members +Create tag entries for variables that are members of structure-like +constructs in C++, Objective C, Java. This is the default for etags. +.TP +.B \-\-no\-members +Do not tag member variables. This is the default for ctags. +.TP +.B \-\-packages\-only +Only tag packages in Ada files. +.TP +\fB\-\-parse\-stdin=\fIfile\fP +May be used (only once) in place of a file name on the command line. +\fBetags\fP will read from standard input and mark the produced tags +as belonging to the file \fBFILE\fP. +.TP +\fB\-o\fP \fItagfile\fP, \fB\-\-output=\fItagfile\fP +Explicit name of file for tag table; overrides default \fBTAGS\fP or +\fBtags\fP. (But ignored with \fB\-v\fP or \fB\-x\fP.) +.TP +\fB\-r\fP \fIregexp\fP, \fB\-\-regex=\fIregexp\fP + +Make tags based on regexp matching for the files following this option, +in addition to the tags made with the standard parsing based on +language. May be freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-R\fP +option. The regexps are cumulative, i.e. each such option will add to +the previous ones. The regexps are of one of the forms: +.br + [\fB{\fP\fIlanguage\fP\fB}\fP]\fB/\fP\fItagregexp/\fP[\fInameregexp\fP\fB/\fP]\fImodifiers\fP +.br + \fB@\fP\fIregexfile\fP +.br + +where \fItagregexp\fP is used to match the tag. It should not match +useless characters. If the match is such that more characters than +needed are unavoidably matched by \fItagregexp\fP, it may be useful to +add a \fInameregexp\fP, to narrow down the tag scope. \fBctags\fP +ignores regexps without a \fInameregexp\fP. The syntax of regexps is +the same as in emacs. The following character escape sequences are +supported: \\a, \\b, \\d, \\e, \\f, \\n, \\r, \\t, \\v, which +respectively stand for the ASCII characters BEL, BS, DEL, ESC, FF, NL, +CR, TAB, VT. +.br +The \fImodifiers\fP are a sequence of 0 or more characters among +\fIi\fP, which means to ignore case when matching; \fIm\fP, which means +that the \fItagregexp\fP will be matched against the whole file contents +at once, rather than line by line, and the matching sequence can match +multiple lines; and \fIs\fP, which implies \fIm\fP and means that the +dot character in \fItagregexp\fP matches the newline char as well. +.br +The separator, which is \fB/\fP in the examples, can be any character +different from space, tab, braces and \fB@\fP. If the separator +character is needed inside the regular expression, it must be quoted +by preceding it with \fB\\\fP. +.br +The optional \fB{\fP\fIlanguage\fP\fB}\fP prefix means that the tag +should be +created only for files of language \fIlanguage\fP, and ignored +otherwise. This is particularly useful when storing many predefined +regexps in a file. +.br +In its second form, \fIregexfile\fP is the name of a file that contains +a number of arguments to the \fI\-\-regex\=\fP option, +one per line. Lines beginning with a space or tab are assumed +to be comments, and ignored. + +.br +Here are some examples. All the regexps are quoted to protect them +from shell interpretation. +.br + +Tag the DEFVAR macros in the emacs source files: +.br +\fI\-\-regex\='/[ \\t]*DEFVAR_[A-Z_ \\t(]+"\\([^"]+\\)"/'\fP +.\"" This comment is to avoid confusion to Emacs syntax highlighting +.br + +Tag VHDL files (this example is a single long line, broken here for +formatting reasons): +.br +\fI\-\-language\=none\ \-\-regex='/[\ \\t]*\\(ARCHITECTURE\\|\\ +CONFIGURATION\\)\ +[^\ ]*\ +OF/'\ \-\-regex\='/[\ \\t]*\\ +\\(ATTRIBUTE\\|ENTITY\\|FUNCTION\\|PACKAGE\\(\ BODY\\)?\\ +\\|PROCEDURE\\|PROCESS\\|TYPE\\)[\ \\t]+\\([^\ \\t(]+\\)/\\3/'\fP +.br + +Tag TCL files (this last example shows the usage of a \fItagregexp\fP): +.br +\fI\-\-lang\=none \-\-regex\='/proc[\ \\t]+\\([^\ \\t]+\\)/\\1/'\fP + +.br +A regexp can be preceded by {\fIlang\fP}, thus restricting it to match +lines of files of the specified language. Use \fBetags \-\-help\fP to obtain +a list of the recognised languages. This feature is particularly useful inside +\fBregex files\fP. A regex file contains one regex per line. Empty lines, +and those lines beginning with space or tab are ignored. Lines beginning +with @ are references to regex files whose name follows the @ sign. Other +lines are considered regular expressions like those following \fB\-\-regex\fP. +.br +For example, the command +.br +\fIetags \-\-regex=@regex.file *.c\fP +.br +reads the regexes contained in the file regex.file. +.TP +.B \-R, \-\-no\-regex +Don't do any more regexp matching on the following files. May be +freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-\-regex\fP option. +.TP +.B \-t, \-\-typedefs +Record typedefs in C code as tags. Since this is the default behavior +of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-T, \-\-typedefs\-and\-c++ +Generate tag entries for typedefs, struct, enum, and union tags, and +C++ member functions. Since this is the default behavior +of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-u, \-\-update +Update tag entries for \fIfiles\fP specified on command line, leaving +tag entries for other files in place. Currently, this is implemented +by deleting the existing entries for the given files and then +rewriting the new entries at the end of the tags file. It is often +faster to simply rebuild the entire tag file than to use this. +Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-v, \-\-vgrind +Instead of generating a tag file, write index (in \fBvgrind\fP format) +to standard output. Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-x, \-\-cxref +Instead of generating a tag file, write a cross reference (in +\fBcxref\fP format) to standard output. Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. +.TP +.B \-h, \-H, \-\-help +Print usage information. Followed by one or more \-\-language=LANG +prints detailed information about how tags are created for LANG. +.TP +.B \-V, \-\-version +Print the current version of the program (same as the version of the +emacs \fBetags\fP is shipped with). + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +`\|\fBemacs\fP\|' entry in \fBinfo\fP; \fIGNU Emacs Manual\fP, Richard +Stallman. +.br +.BR cxref ( 1 ), +.BR emacs ( 1 ), +.BR vgrind ( 1 ), +.BR vi ( 1 ). + +.SH COPYING +Copyright +.if t \(co +.if n (c) +1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +.PP +Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this +document provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are +preserved on all copies. +.PP +Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of +this document under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided that +the entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of +a permission notice identical to this one. +.PP +Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this +document into another language, under the above conditions for +modified versions, except that this permission notice may be stated +in a translation approved by the Free Software Foundation. + +.\" arch-tag: 9534977f-af78-42f0-991d-1df6b6c05573 |
