MEDIT(1)                                                              MEDIT(1)



NAME
       medit - text editor

SYNOPSIS
       medit [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION
       medit is a text editor.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
              Show version of the program.

       -n, --new-app
              Run  new  instance  of medit. By default medit opens files 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.

       -l, --line LINE
              Open file and position cursor on line LINE.

       -w, --new-window
              Open file in a new window.

       -t, --new-tab
              Open file in a new tab.

       --log[=FILE]
              Show debug output or write it to FILE.

       --debug
              Run in debug mode.

       --exec STRING
              Execute python code in an existing instance.

       --exec-file FILE
              Execute python file in an existing instance.

       files  List of files to open. Filenames may include line numbers  after
              colon, e.g. /tmp/file.txt:200.  Trailing colon is also fine.

ENVIRONMENT
       MEDIT_PID
              If  set,  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).
