24              Explanation of debugging levels
25
26              0 PANIC Critical errors

40              not even the most critical ones. Debugging messages are sent  to
41              STDERR.
42
43       -console
44              Run  in  commandline mode. No editor windows are opened and com‐
45              mandline init script is executed.
46
47       -script (filename)
48              Run script with given filename. Look for the  script  in  script
49              path. If not found, look for the script in current directory.
50
51       -run (filename)
52              Run  script  with  given  filename,  but  unlike -script option,
53              script path is not searched.
54
55       -eval (code)

59              This is just shortcut for -console -script (filename)
60
61       --     Stop processing options. Any further parameters after  this  one
62              are treated as filenames. This can be useful if you want to open
63              file, that have name beginning with a dash.
64

DESCRIPTION

66        You can specify any number of filenames as parameters on  commandline.
67       One window will be opened for each file specified. If no file is speci‐
68       fied on commandline, editor will be loaded initially empty.
69        Name of files can be mixed with options (parameter that begin  with  a
70       dash).  Invalid  option  on commandline will cause editor to abort with
71       error message. Names of options are case sensitive.
72        Options which require a parameter can be specified  in  "short  form",
73       like  -d1 or "long form", like -d 1 , both of these mean option -d with
74       parameter 1
75        Use -script , -eval and -run options to run  any  script  besides  the
76       init  script.  These parameters are run/evaluated in the order they are
77       specified on commandline and may be specified multiple times. If  these
78       parameters  are  specified  in  GUI  mode, they are used in each window
79       opened on program start, in commandline mode (console  mode)  they  are
80       used  after  commandline init script. After these scripts finish execu‐
81       tion, the editor terminates.
