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.
