--file file, --find-file file, --visit file
        The same as specifying file directly as an argument.

+number Go  to  the  line  specified by number (do not insert a space between the "+" sign and the
        number).  This applies only to the next file specified.

+line:column
        Go to the specified line and column.

-q, --no-init-file
        Do not load an init file.

--no-site-file
        Do not load the site-wide startup file.

--no-desktop
        Do not load a saved desktop.

-Q, --quick
        Similar to "-q --no-site-file --no-splash".  Also, avoid processing X resources.

--no-splash
        Do not display a splash screen during start-up.

--debug-init
        Enable Emacs Lisp debugger during the processing of the user init file ~/.emacs.  This  is
        useful for debugging problems in the init file.

-u user, --user user
        Load user's init file.

-t file, --terminal file
        Use  specified file as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout.  This must be the first
        argument specified in the command line.

--daemon
        Start Emacs as a daemon, enabling the Emacs server and disconnecting  from  the  terminal.
        You can then use the emacsclient command to connect to the server (see emacsclient(1)).

--version
        Display Emacs version information and exit.

       --help  Display this help and exit.

The following options are Lisp-oriented (these options are processed in the order encountered):

-f function, --funcall function
        Execute the lisp function function.

-l file, --load file
        Load the lisp code in the file file.

       --eval expr, --execute expr
               Evaluate the Lisp expression expr.

The following options are useful when running Emacs as a batch editor:

--batch Edit  in  batch  mode.   The  editor will send messages to stderr.  You must use -l and -f
        options to specify files to execute and functions to call.

--script file
        Run file as an Emacs Lisp script.

--insert file
        Insert contents of file into the current buffer.

--kill  Exit Emacs while in batch mode.

           -L dir, --directory dir
                   Add dir to the list of directories Emacs searches for Lisp files.

Using Emacs with X
    Emacs has been tailored to work well with the X window system.  If you run Emacs from under X windows, it
    will  create  its own X window to display in.  You will probably want to start the editor as a background
    process so that you can continue using your original window.

    Emacs can be started with the following X switches:

--name name
        Specify the name which should be assigned to the  initial  Emacs  window.   This  controls
        looking up X resources as well as the window title.

-T name, --title name
        Specify the title for the initial X window.

-r, -rv, --reverse-video
        Display the Emacs window in reverse video.

-fn font, --font font
        Set  the Emacs window's font to that specified by font.  You will find the various X fonts
        in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory.  Note that Emacs will only accept fixed width  fonts.
        Under the X11 Release 4 font-naming conventions, any font with the value "m" or "c" in the
        eleventh field of the font name is a fixed width font.  Furthermore, fonts whose name  are
        of the form widthxheight are generally fixed width, as is the font fixed.  See xlsfonts(1)
        for more information.

        When you specify a font, be sure to put a space between the switch and the font name.

--xrm resources
        Set additional X resources.

--color, --color=mode
        Override color mode for character terminals; mode defaults to  `auto',  and  can  also  be
        `never', `auto', `always', or a mode name like `ansi8'.

-bw pixels, --border-width pixels
        Set the Emacs window's border width to the number of pixels specified by pixels.  Defaults
        to one pixel on each side of the window.

-ib pixels, --internal-border pixels
        Set the window's internal border width to  the  number  of  pixels  specified  by  pixels.
        Defaults to one pixel of padding on each side of the window.

-g geometry, --geometry geometry
        Set   the  Emacs  window's  width,  height,  and  position  as  specified.   The  geometry
        specification is in the standard X format; see X(7) for more information.  The  width  and
        height  are  specified  in  characters;  the  default  is 80 by 24.  See the Emacs manual,
        section "Options for Window Size and  Position",  for  information  on  how  window  sizes
        interact with selecting or deselecting the tool bar and menu bar.

-lsp pixels, --line-spacing pixels
        Additional space to put between lines.

-vb, --vertical-scroll-bars
        Enable vertical scrollbars.

-fh, --fullheight
        Make the first frame as high as the screen.

-fs, --fullscreen
        Make the first frame fullscreen.

-fw, --fullwidth
        Make the first frame as wide as the screen.

-mm, --maximized
        Maximize the first frame, like "-fw -fh".

-fg color, --foreground-color color
        On color displays, set the color of the text.

        Use the command M-x list-colors-display for a list of valid color names.

-bg color, --background-color color
        On color displays, set the color of the window's background.

-bd color, --border-color color
        On color displays, set the color of the window's border.

-cr color, --cursor-color color
        On color displays, set the color of the window's text cursor.

-ms color, --mouse-color color
        On color displays, set the color of the window's mouse cursor.

-d displayname, --display displayname
        Create the Emacs window on the display specified by displayname.  Must be the first option
        specified in the command line.

-nbi, --no-bitmap-icon
        Do not use picture of gnu for Emacs icon.

--iconic
        Start Emacs in iconified state.

-nbc, --no-blinking-cursor
        Disable blinking cursor.

-nw, --no-window-system
        Tell Emacs not to create a graphical frame.  If you use this switch  when  invoking  Emacs
        from an xterm(1) window, display is done in that window.

-D, --basic-display
        This option disables many display features; use it for debugging Emacs.
