NAME
       gedit - general-purpose text editor

SYNOPSIS
       gedit [OPTION...] [FILE...] [+LINE[:COLUMN]]
       gedit [OPTION...] -

DESCRIPTION
       gedit is	a general-purpose text editor.

       The  first  goal	of gedit is to be easy to use, with a simple interface
       by default. More	advanced features are available	by enabling plugins.

OPTIONS
       --encoding
	      Set the character	encoding to be	used  for  opening  the	 files
	      listed on	the command line.

       --list-encodings
	      Display  list  of	 possible  values  for the encoding option and
	      exit.

       --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.

       -s, --standalone
	      Run gedit	in standalone mode.

       -w, --wait
	      Open files and block the gedit process.

       --help Prints the command line options.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       FILE   Specifies	the file to open when gedit starts.  If	 this  is  not
	      specified,  gedit	 will load a blank file	with an	"Unsaved Docu-
	      ment" 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 in-
	      sert a space between the "+" sign	and the	number).  If  LINE  is
	      missing, go to the last line.

       COLUMN For  the	first  file, go	to the column specified	by COLUMN.  If
	      COLUMN is	missing, go to the first column.

BUGS
       If you find a bug, please report	it at  the  GNOME  bug	tracker.  See:
       https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit/ReportingBugs
