gedit - text editor for the GNOME Desktop
SYNOPSIS
gedit [OPTION...] [FILE...] [+LINE[:COLUMN]]
gedit [OPTION...] -
DESCRIPTION
gedit is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.
While aiming at simplicity and ease of use, gedit is a powerful general purpose text editor. It can be used to create and edit all kinds
of text files.
gedit features a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically add new advanced features to gedit itself.
OPTIONS
--encoding
Set the character encoding to be used for opening the files listed on the command line.
-g, --geometry=GEOMETRY
Set the X geometry window size (WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y).
--list-encodings
Display list of possible values for the encoding option and exit.

-w, --wait

--help Prints the command line options.

FILE Specifies the file to open when gedit starts. If this is not specified, gedit will load a blank file with an "Unsaved Document"
label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated by spaces. gedit also supports handling of remote files. For example, you
can pass the location of a webpage to gedit , like "http://www.gnome.org", or load a file from a FTP server, like
"ftp://ftp.gnome.org/robots.txt".
- gedit will read from stdin
+LINE For the first file, go to the line specified by LINE (do not insert a space between the "+" sign and the number). If LINE is miss-
ing, go to the last line.
