    1010This manual page documents briefly the 
    1111.BR emacsclient 
    12 command. 
    13 This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution 
    14 because the original program does not have a manual page. 
    15 Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

     15distribution, but is not specific to that system.

    20 You typically do not call  
     20You can either call 
    2121.B emacsclient 
    22 directly.  Instead, you set the environment variable EDITOR 
    23 to  
    24 .B emacsclient 
    25 and let programs like 'vipw' or 'bug' or anything run 
    26 it for you, which will use an existing Emacs to visit the file. 
     22directly or let other programs run it for you when necessary.  On 
     23GNU and Unix systems many programs consult the environment 
     24variable EDITOR (sometimes also VISUAL) to obtain the command used for 
     25editing.  Thus, setting this environment variable to 'emacsclient' 
     26will allow these programs to use an already running Emacs for editing. 
     27Other operating systems might have their own methods for defining the 
     28default editor.

    3133the function 
    3234`server-start'.  (Your `.emacs' file can do this automatically if you 
    33 add the expression `(server-start)' to it.)

    67 .SH BUGS 
    68 If there is no running Emacs server,  
    69 .B emacsclient  
    70 cannot launch one. I use a small Perl script instead of raw  
    71 .B emacsclient 
    72 to do it (it works only with systems which have BSD sockets, which is fine 
    73 for Debian GNU/Linux).
