NAME
gedit - simple text editor for GNOME
The gedit application is a simple text editor. You can use gedit to create and edit text files. You can use gedit plugins to perform a
variety of tasks related to text-editing from within the gedit window.
SYNTAX
gedit [--help] [--debug[-section]] [--new-window] [--new-document] [--quit] [filename(s)...]
DESCRIPTION
gedit is a text editor for the GNOME Desktop.
OPTIONS
--help Prints the command line options.
--debug[-section]
Runs gedit in debug mode. In debug mode function names are dumped to the console when they are invoked. Specific sections for debug-
ging are allowed. The sections are: window, commands, document, file, plugins, prefs, print, search, undo, view and recent. Run
`gedit --help' for more information.
--new-window
Create a new toplevel window in an existing instance of gedit.
--new-document
Create a new document in an existing instance of gedit.
--quit Quit an existing instance of gedit.
filename(s)...
Specifies the file to open when gedit starts - if this is not specified, gedit will load a blank file with an Untitled label. Multi-
ple 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/ro-
bots.txt".
PIPES
Gedit accepts pipes, so it can be run after another command to load the output into gedit. For example :
ls -l | gedit
