NAME
       Xed - The Text Editor

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

DESCRIPTION
       Xed  is	the  official text editor of the X-APPS	project, which aims to
       provide 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 spec-
	      ified, xed will start a new, blank file with an  "Unsaved	 Docu-
	      ment"  label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated
	      by spaces. xed also supports handling of remote files.

       --display=DISPLAY
	      X	display	to use.

       --encoding
	      Set the character	encoding to be	used  for  opening  the	 files

       --new-window
	      Create a new toplevel window in an existing instance of xed.

       --new-document
	      Create  a	 new  document	in an existing instance	of xed,	on the
	      last Xed window that had focus.

       +[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

       --version

       This program also accepts the standard GTK options.
