And that was what the original poster asked for. So what are the
"different opinions on that" supposed to be?

Well, look up the meaning of the word "start" in a dictionary of your
choice.

Hogwash.
(info "(emacs) Invoking emacsclient")
File: emacs, Node: Invoking emacsclient, Prev: Emacs Server, Up: Emacs
Server
41.1 Invoking `emacsclient'
===========================
To run the `emacsclient' program, specify file names as arguments, and
optionally line numbers as well. Do it like this:
emacsclient {[+LINE[COLUMN]] FILENAME}...
This tells Emacs to visit each of the specified files; if you specify a
line number for a certain file, Emacs moves to that line in the file.
You really are not too fond of reading the manual, right?
