       el — program to make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner

SYNOPSIS

       el   [-acdfhioxV]    [--command   cmd]    [--args  n]   [--format  fmt]
       [--execute]  [--inpipe  buf]   [--outpipe  buf]   [--serial]   [--help]
       [--version]  [--debug]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the el command.

       This  manual  page  was written for the Debian distribution because the
       original program  does  not  have  a  manual  page.   Instead,  it  has
       documentation in the GNU       Info format; see below.

       el  is  a  program that You can make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner
       with.  This command can send S-exp to Emacs, and this  can  make  Emacs
       evaluate  it,  too.   In  other words, you can execute Emacs’s function
       from shell-commands.  And you can make Emacs work in closer cooperation
       with your favorite shell-commands.

OPTIONS

       These  programs  follow  the  usual  GNU command line syntax, with long
       options starting with two  dashes  (‘-’).   A  summary  of  options  is
       included below.  For a complete description, see the Info files.

       -i buf           --inpipe buf
                 Gets input from pipe-buffer. You  can  specify  a  number  of

       -o buf           --outpipe buf
                 Puts output to pipe-buffer. You can specify a number of pipe-
