And that was what the original poster asked for.  So what are the
"different opinions on that" supposed to be?

Well, look up the meaning of the word "start" in a dictionary of your
choice.

Hogwash.

(info "(emacs) Invoking emacsclient")

    File: emacs,  Node: Invoking emacsclient,  Prev: Emacs Server,  Up: Emacs Server

    41.1 Invoking `emacsclient'
    ===========================

    To run the `emacsclient' program, specify file names as arguments, and
    optionally line numbers as well.  Do it like this:

         emacsclient {[+LINE[COLUMN]] FILENAME}...

    This tells Emacs to visit each of the specified files; if you specify a
    line number for a certain file, Emacs moves to that line in the file.


You really are not too fond of reading the manual, right?
