xed(1) BSD General Commands Manual xed(1)
NAME
xed -- Xcode text editor invocation tool.
SYNOPSIS
xed [-xcwrbhv] [-l lineno] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The xed tool launches the Xcode application and opens the given docu-
ments, or opens a new untitled document, optionally with the contents of
standard in.
OPTIONS
The options for xed are similar to those for the command-line utiltiies
for other text editors:
-x, --launch
Launches Xcode opening a new empty unsaved file, without reading
from standard input.
-c, --create
Creates any files in the file list that do not already exist.
If used without --launch, standard input will be read and piped
to the last file created.
-w, --wait
Wait for the files to be closed before exiting. xed will idle
in a run loop waiting for a notification from Xcode when each
file is closed, and will only terminate when all are closed.
This is useful when invoking it from a script.
-l, --line <number>
Selects the given line in the last file opened.
-b, --background
Opens Xcode without activating it; the process that invoked xed
remains in front.
-h, --help
Prints a brief summary of usage.
-v, --version
Prints the version number of xed
[file...]
A list of file paths. Existing files will be opened; nonexis-
tent files will be created only if the --create flag is passed.
If no files are passed, then standard input will be read and
piped into a new untitled dcument (unless --launch is passed).
If --create and at least one nonexistent file name is passed,
the last nonexistent file will be created, filled with the stan-
dard input, and opened.
HISTORY
xed was introduced in Mac OS X 10.5 with Xcode 3.0.
