Questions tagged [emacsclient]

emacsclient is a program which allows the user to connect to the Emacs Server. This is useful when using Emacs as the default editor on Unix-like systems, as it allows Emacs to be invoked without creating a new process, allowing the reuse of shared buffers and command history.

See also Emacs-Server (GNU Emacs Manual) and Emacs Client (emacswiki).
