Action Arguments
Here is a table of the action arguments and options:
- file
--visit=file
--file=file
- Visit file using
find-file. See Visiting.
+linenum file
- Visit file using
find-file, then go to line number
linenum in it.
+linenum:columnnum file
- Visit file using
find-file, then go to line number
linenum and put point at column number columnnum.
-l file
--load=file
- Load a Lisp library named file with the function
load.
See Lisp Libraries. The library can be found either in the current
directory, or in the Emacs library search path as specified
with EMACSLOADPATH (see General Variables).
-f function
--funcall=function
- Call Lisp function function with no arguments.
--eval=expression
--execute=expression
- Evaluate Lisp expression expression.
--insert=file
- Insert the contents of file into the current buffer. This is like
what M-x insert-file does. See Misc File Ops.
--kill
- Exit from Emacs without asking for confirmation.
The init file can access the values of the action arguments as the
elements of a list in the variable command-line-args. The init
file can override the normal processing of the action arguments, or
define new ones, by reading and setting this variable.
