DESCRIPTION

12       xpce-client  is a small program to contact an xpce(1) server socket and
13       feed the xpce process commands.  A generic  server  that  provides  the
14       possibility   to   execute   Prolog   goals   is   available   in   the
15       library(pce_server).  This server may be started from  xpce  using  the
16       command
17
18              ?- pce_server(socket).
19
20       after which this server may be contacted using:
21
22              % xpce-client socket
23              (pce) send(new(P, picture), open).
24              P = @717363
25              (pce) exit
26              %
27
28   Options
29       -b     Block  until  the  xpce server closes the connection.  Otherwise
30              xpce-client exists as soon as it has send all  requests  to  the
31              server without waiting for response.
32
33       -c command
34              Send  command  as a command to the server.  Without this option,
35              xpce-client will copy standard input to the  server  socket  and
36              copy any output from the socket to standard output.
