gedit

GEDIT(l)																  GEDIT(l)

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
