NAME
     gedit - a general-purpose text editor

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

DESCRIPTION
     gedit  is	an  easy-to-use and general-purpose text editor. Its development
     started in 1998, at the beginnings of the GNOME project, with a good  inte-
     gration with that desktop environment.

     You  can use it to write simple notes and documents, or you can enable more
     advanced features that are useful for software development.

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 speci-
	    fied, 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/ro-
	    bots.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 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.
