@var{linenum} in it.
@item -load @var{file}
+@itemx --load @var{file}
@itemx -l @var{file}
Load a file @var{file} of Lisp code with the function @code{load}.
@xref{Lisp Libraries}.
@item -funcall @var{function}
+@itemx --funcall @var{function}
@itemx -f @var{function}
Call Lisp function @var{function} with no arguments.
@item -eval @var{function}
+@itemx --eval @var{function}
+@itemx -e @var{function}
Interpret the next argument as a Lisp expression, and evaluate it.
You must be very careful of the shell quoting here.
@item -insert @var{file}
+@itemx --insert @var{file}
@itemx -i @var{file}
Insert the contents of @var{file} into the current buffer. This is like
what @kbd{M-x insert-buffer} does; @xref{Misc File Ops}.
@item -kill
+@itemx --kill
Exit from SXEmacs without asking for confirmation. Always the last
argument processed, no matter where it appears in the command line.
@item -version
+@itemx --version
@itemx -V
Prints version information. This implies @samp{-batch}.
@example
% sxemacs -version
-SXEmacs: steve@@sxemacs.org--2006/sxemacs--main--22.1.4--patch-79,
-built Sun Apr 9 05:36:50 2006 on bastard
+SXEmacs: v22.1.15-131-gccf396e, built Sun May 10 07:40:48 2015 on bastard.steveyoungs.com
@end example
@item -help
+@itemx --help
+@itemx -h
Prints a summary of command-line options and then exits.
@end table
order in which they appear in this table.
@table @samp
-@item --show-dump-id
+@item -show-dump-id
+@itemx --show-dump-id
@itemx -sd
Print the ID for the new portable dumper's dump file on the terminal and
exit. (Prints an error message and exits if SXEmacs was not configured
@samp{--pdump}.)
-@item --no-dump-file
+@item -no-dump-file
+@itemx --no-dump-file
@itemx -nd
Don't load the dump file. Roughly equivalent to old temacs. (Ignored if
SXEmacs was not configured @samp{--pdump}.)
-@item --terminal @var{file}
+@item -terminal @var{file}
+@itemx --terminal @var{file}
@itemx -t @var{file}
Use @var{file} instead of the terminal for input and output. This
implies the @samp{-nw} option, documented below.
@cindex batch mode
@item -batch
+@itemx --batch
Run SXEmacs in @dfn{batch mode}, which means that the text being edited is
not displayed and the standard Unix interrupt characters such as
@kbd{C-z} and @kbd{C-c} continue to have their normal effect. SXEmacs in
processed. In addition, auto-saving is not done except in buffers for
which it has been explicitly requested.
-@item --no-windows
+@item -no-windows
+@itemx --no-windows
@itemx -nw
Start up SXEmacs in TTY mode (using the TTY SXEmacs was started from),
rather than trying to connect to an X display. Note that this happens
automatically if the @samp{DISPLAY} environment variable is not set.
-@item --color-terminal
+@item -color-terminal
+@itemx --color-terminal
@itemx -ct
Tells SXEmacs to assume that any TTY frame should be colorized even
when the color support was not detected. The color support is of
are detected those more accurate settings are used.
@item -debug-init
+@itemx --debug-init
Enter the debugger if an error in the init file occurs.
@item -debug-paths
+@itemx --debug-paths
Displays information on how SXEmacs constructs the various paths into its
hierarchy on startup. (See also @pxref{Startup Paths}.)
@item -unmapped
+@itemx --unmapped
Do not map the initial frame. This is useful if you want to start up
SXEmacs as a server (e.g. for gnuserv screens or external client widgets).
@item -no-init-file
+@itemx --no-init-file
@itemx -q
Do not load your SXEmacs init file. @xref{Init File}.
@item -no-site-file
+@itemx --no-site-file
Do not load the site-specific init file @file{lisp/site-start.el}.
@item -no-autoloads
+@itemx --no-autoloads
Do not load global symbol files (@file{auto-autoloads}) at startup.
This implies @samp{-vanilla}.
@item -no-early-packages
+@itemx --no-early-packages
Do not process early packages. (For more information on startup issues
concerning the package system, @xref{Startup Paths}.)
@item -vanilla
+@itemx --vanilla
This is equivalent to @samp{-q -no-site-file -no-early-packages}.
@item -user-init-file @var{file}
+@itemx --user-init-file @var{file}
Load @var{file} as your SXEmacs init file instead of the default
@file{$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sxemacs/init.el}.
@item -user-init-directory @var{directory}
+@itemx --user-init-directory @var{directory}
Use @var{directory} as the location of your initialization files.
@item -user @var{user}
+@itemx --user @var{user}
@itemx -u @var{user}
Attempt to load @var{user} init instead of your own. There is no
privilege escalation going on, the SXEmacs process is still owned by
