Hi Folks,
Browsing the manuals with info, there is the following documentation:
- Variable: command-line-args
The value of this variable is the list of command-line arguments
passed to Emacs.
But when I start emacs with:
emacs -q --no-site-file -fg white -bg black
I got the following value:
C-h v command-line-args RET
command-line-args's value is ("emacs")
Documentation:
Args passed by shell to Emacs, as a list of strings.
Shouldn't it be ("emacs" "-q" "--no-site-file" "-fg" "white" "-bg" "black") ??
Am I missing something?
I'm using:
GNU Emacs 21.2.90.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Many arguments get deleted when they are handled. I tend to think that it is not worth changing this, but I will document it. Was there any particular problem you are trying to solve? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

No particular problem, only that documentation and implementation aren't synchronized. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
