;;; Commentary:
;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
;; a server for other processes.
;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
;; Emacs opens up a socket for communication with clients. If there are no
;; client buffers to edit, server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer
;; (other-buffer))
;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../lib-src/emacsclient.
;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to Emacs to be edited.
;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
;; to the program that invoked it.
;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
;; the client. This is possible in four cases:
;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
;; 2. On a multi-terminal system, where Emacs runs on one terminal and the
;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs on another.
;; 3. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
;; 4. On a system with job control, when Emacs is suspended, the program
;; that wants to use "the editor" will stop and display
;; "Waiting for Emacs...". It can then be suspended, and Emacs can be
;; brought into the foreground for editing. When done editing, Emacs is
;; suspended again, and the client program is brought into the foreground.
;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
;; Todo:
;; - handle command-line-args-left.
;; - move most of the args processing and decision making from emacsclient.c
;; to here.
;; - fix up handling of the client's environment (place it in the terminal?).

(defun* server-process-filter (proc string)
"Process a request from the server to edit some files.
PROC is the server process. STRING consists of a sequence of
commands prefixed by a dash. Some commands have arguments;
these are &-quoted and need to be decoded by `server-unquote-arg'.
The filter parses and executes these commands.
To illustrate the protocol, here is an example command that
emacsclient sends to create a new X frame (note that the whole
sequence is sent on a single line):
-env HOME=/home/lorentey
-env DISPLAY=:0.0
... lots of other -env commands
-display :0.0
-window-system
The following commands are accepted by the server:
`-auth AUTH-STRING'
Authenticate the client using the secret authentication string
AUTH-STRING.
`-env NAME=VALUE'
An environment variable on the client side.
`-dir DIRNAME'
The current working directory of the client process.
`-current-frame'
Forbid the creation of new frames.
`-nowait'
Request that the next frame created should not be
associated with this client.
`-display DISPLAY'
Set the display name to open X frames on.
`-position LINE[:COLUMN]'
Go to the given line and column number
in the next file opened.
`-file FILENAME'
Load the given file in the current frame.
`-eval EXPR'
Evaluate EXPR as a Lisp expression and return the
result in -print commands.
`-window-system'
Open a new X frame.
`-tty DEVICENAME TYPE'
Open a new tty frame at the client.
`-suspend'
Suspend this tty frame. The client sends this string in
response to SIGTSTP and SIGTTOU. The server must cease all I/O
on this tty until it gets a -resume command.
`-resume'
Resume this tty frame. The client sends this string when it
gets the SIGCONT signal and it is the foreground process on its
controlling tty.
`-ignore COMMENT'
Do nothing, but put the comment in the server log.
Useful for debugging.
The following commands are accepted by the client:
`-emacs-pid PID'
Describes the process id of the Emacs process;
used to forward window change signals to it.
`-window-system-unsupported'
Signals that the server does not support creating X frames;
the client must try again with a tty frame.
`-print STRING'
Print STRING on stdout. Used to send values
returned by -eval.
`-error DESCRIPTION'
Signal an error (but continue processing).
`-suspend'
Suspend this terminal, i.e., stop the client process.
Sent when the user presses C-z."
