Subject: bug#25708: 25.1.91; Allow users to inhibit printing for 'emacsclient -c -t'
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:46:34 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <u49xk28t50x1.fsf@alexhutcheson1.nyc.corp.google.com> (raw)
Sometimes I want to eval some elisp at the command line exclusively to
set up some buffers for me to work with in a new frame. For example, to
diff two files, I often do:
emacsclient -c -e '(ediff "fileA" "fileB")
This works, but emacsclient annoyingly prints the result of the eval'ed
expression to stdout. In this case, I'll get:
#<buffer *Ediff Control Panel*>
This output is annoying, and it can't be redirected (`emacsclient -c' on a
terminal fail to launch if stdout is redirected, for obvious reasons).
It would be great if emacsclient had a way to inhibit printing the
result, for cases where the user is only eval'ing the expressions for
their side effects.
