This manual page documents briefly the el command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
el is a program that You can make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner with. This command can send S-exp to Emacs, and this can make Emacs evaluate it, too. In other words, you can execute Emacs’s function from shell-commands. And you can make Emacs work in closer cooperation with your favorite shell-commands.
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (‘−’). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
-c cmd −−command cmd
cmd means a function of Elisp. Command line arguments and data from stdin means arguments of cmd. If you specify the only −c switch, el output one S-exp by one line of stdin.
−−a n −−args n
Specifies the maximum number of arguments of a Elisp function with −c switch.
-f fmt −−format fmt
Allows you to use format string of printf for making a S-exp.
-x −−execute
Requests to Oneliner to evaluate the S-exp to use *Oneliner auto-eval* buffer.
-i buf −−inpipe buf
Gets input from pipe-buffer. You can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too.
-o buf −−outpipe buf
Puts output to pipe-buffer. You can specify a number of pipe-buffer, too.
-s −−serial
Makes el to serialize multiple lines to one line.
-h −−help
