But where do you need that value, and what do you mean by "without
creation of visible frames"? Not all emacsclient processes have a
corresponding display, e.g. if you just do
emacsclient --eval '(+ 1 1)'
there is no display involved. If you create an emacsclient process with
-c or -r, then in Elisp you can get the display on which the frame is
displayed with (getenv "DISPLAY"), or (cdr (assq 'display
(frame-parameters))).
