Emacsclient --eval with command line arguments.

Emacsclient --eval with command line arguments.

[Hongyi Zhao]

I want to call Emacsclient to format the gap script with the following steps:

1. Put the following code snippet in scratch buffer, and `C-x C-e` it:

```emacs-lisp
(server-start)
(defun my-gap-format-file (file)
  "Open file, format as GAP, and save."
  (with-current-buffer (find-file "test.gap")
    (gap-format-buffer)
    (save-buffer)))
```
2. According to the comment here [1], I tried the following method but failed:

```shell
$ time emacsclient -s read --eval '(my-gap-format-file (file-truename
"'"$1"'"))' gap-test.g
emacsclient: Should XDG_RUNTIME_DIR='/run/user/1000' be in the environment?
emacsclient: (Be careful: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is security-related.)
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
emacsclient: To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: error accessing socket "read"

real    0m0.012s
user    0m0.009s
sys    0m0.005s
```

How can I run `emacsclient --eval` with command line arguments in this
situation?

Why are you using this "read" socket that you don't seem to have
created? Try to remove this parameter to see what emacsclient does by
default.
