This means for me the following: stdin from emacsclient will be available to the process-filter. process-send-string and process-send-eof will work on the stdout of emacsclient. Killing or signaling the emacsclient process will do the appropriate thing on the other end. In that manner, I could set PAGER=emacsclient -f client-pager and if some command like "man" gets called in a shell, an Emacs window will open up and Emacs will fill this window with material in view-mode. -- David Kastrup
