= NAME =
medit - text editor
= SYNOPSIS =
**medit** [//OPTION//]... [//FILES//]
= DESCRIPTION =
**medit** is a text editor.
= OPTIONS =
: **-n**, **--new-app**
run new instance of **medit**. By default **medit** opens //FILES//
(or creates a new document if none are given) in an existing instance
of application
: **-s**, **--use-session**[=//yes|no//]
load and save session. By default **medit** does it when **-n** is not used.
If this option is not given on command line then medit uses the corresponding
preferences setting.
: **--pid** //PID//
use existing instance with process id //PID//.
: **--app-name** //NAME//
use instance name //NAME//. If an instance with this name is already running,
then it will send files given on the command line to that instance and exit.
: **--line** //LINE//
open file and position cursor on line //LINE//. Alternatively
line number may be specified with filename, e.g.
medit foo.txt:12
: **-w**, **--new-window**
open file in a new window
: **-t**, **--new-tab**
open file in a new tab
: **--log**[=//FILE//]
if //FILE// is given, write the debug output into //FILE//. Otherwise,
show debug output in a log window. This option is only useful on Windows
: **--debug**[=//DOMAINS//]
enable debug output for //DOMAINS// (if **medit** was compiled with
--enable-debug option)
: **--exec** //STRING//
execute python code in //STRING// in an existing instance
: **--exec-file** //FILE//
execute python file //FILE// in an existing instance
: **-h**, **--help**
show summary of options
: **-v**, **--version**
show program version
: //FILES//
list of files to open. Filenames may include line numbers after colon,
e.g. /tmp/file.txt:200. Trailing colon is ignored
= ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES =
: MEDIT_PID
if set, it is used as --pid argument. When medit spawns a process (e.g. a DVI viewer) it sets
MEDIT_PID to its own process id, so the child process may in turn simply use 'medit filename'
to open a file (e.g. for inverse DVI search).
