NAME
Emacs - Redefine Perl's system primitives to work inside of EmacsSYNOPSIS
perlmacs -w -MEmacs -e main -- --display :0.0 file.txt
#! /usr/bin/perlmacs use Emacs; use Emacs::Lisp; setq { $mail_self_blind = t; }; exit main ($0, "-q", @ARGV);
DESCRIPTION
This module replaces "STDIN", "STDOUT", "STDERR", %ENV, %SIG, "exit", and "warn" (via $SIG{__WARN__}) with versions that work safely within an Emacs session. In Perlmacs, it also defines a function named main, which launches an Emacs editing session from within a script.STDIN
Reading a line from Perl's "STDIN" filehandle causes a string to be read from the minibuffer with the prompt "Enter input: ". To show a different prompt, use:
$string = &read_string ("Prompt: ");
STDOUT
Printing to Perl's "STDOUT" filehandle inserts text into the current buffer as though typed, unless you have changed the Lisp variable "standard-output" to do something different.
STDERR and `warn'
Perl's "warn" operator and "STDERR" filehandle are redirected to the minibuffer.
%ENV
Access to %ENV is redirected to the Lisp variable "process-environment".
%SIG
Setting signal handlers is not currently permitted under Emacs.
exit
"exit" calls "kill-emacs".
main (CMDLINE)
When you "use Emacs" in a perlmacs script, a Perl sub named "main" may be used to invoke the Emacs editor. This makes it possible to put customization code, which would normally appear as Lisp in ~/.emacs, into a Perl script.
NOTE: This function does not work under EPL. You have to have Perlmacs to use it. See ``EPL AND PERLMACS'' in Emacs::Lisp.
For example, this startup code
(setq user-mail-address "gnaeus@perl.moc" mail-self-blind t mail-yank-prefix "> " )
(put 'eval-expression 'disabled nil)
(global-font-lock-mode 1 t) (set-face-background 'highlight "maroon") (set-face-background 'region "Sienna")
could be placed in a file with the following contents:
#! /usr/local/bin/perlmacs
use Emacs; use Emacs::Lisp;
setq { $user_mail_address = 'gnaeus@perl.moc'; $mail_self_blind = t; $mail_yank_prefix = '> '; $eval_expression{\*disabled} = undef; };
&global_font_lock_mode(1, t); &set_face_background(\*highlight, "maroon"); &set_face_background(\*region, "Sienna");
exit main($0, "-q", @ARGV);
When you wanted to run Emacs, you would invoke this program.
The arguments to "main" correspond to the "argv" of the "main" function in a C program. The first argument should be the program's invocation name, as in this example. -q inhibits running ~/.emacs (which is the point, after all).
BUGS
- * Problems with `main'.
- "main()" doesn't work under EPL. It may open an X display and not close it. Those are the most obvious of many problems with "main".
The thing is, Emacs was not written with the expectation of being embedded in another program, least of all a language interpreter such as Perl. Therefore, when Emacs is told to exit, it believes the process is really about to exit, and it neglects to tidy up after itself.
For best results, the value returned by "main" should be passed to Perl's "exit" soon, as in this code:
exit (main($0, @args));
