I would expect the emacsclient command to open the file in an existing frame and return immediately. However, emacsclient outputs the "Waiting for Emacs..." message and does not return immediately. Is this intendedYes.and what does this message mean if the file is opened in an existing frame?It means emacsclient is waiting for the server to indicate that editing of the file is done. This is for programs which invoke an editor, let the user edit some text, then continue processing that text after the user finishes editing it.There is a --no-wait command line arg, whose help text is "Don't wait for the server to return". To me it seems like this should not be used, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, -n does what I want, but the help text was not clear to me.The --no-wait option is exactly what you want. If you can explain what was unclear about it in the help text, perhaps we could clarify that.
The man page clearly explains what emacsclient is doing (I didn't look at the man-page before). It would have helped me if the output of emacsclient -h were a bit more verbose, but I guess that its sparse output is intended.
This ticket can be closed.
Thanks.
