NAME
     Xed - The Text Editor

SYNOPSIS
     xed [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]

DESCRIPTION
     Xed  is  the official text editor of the X-APPS project, which aims to pro-
     vide applications to the Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce desktops. While aiming  at
     simplicity  and ease of use, Xed is a powerful general purpose text editor.
     It can be used to create and edit all sorts of text files.

     Xed features a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically  add
     new advanced features to Xed itself.

     This manual page briefly documents the xed command.

OPTIONS
     filename(s)...
	    Specifies  the  file  to open when xed starts. If this is not speci-
	    fied, xed will start a new, blank file with  an  "Unsaved  Document"
	    label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated by spaces.
	    xed also supports handling of remote files.

     +[num]
	    For the first file, go to the line specified by "num" (do not insert
	    a  space between the "+" sign and the number).  If "num" is missing,
	    go to the last line.

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