NAME

       xpce-client - Contact an XPCE server socket

SYNOPSIS

       xpce-client socket [-b] [-c command]

DESCRIPTION

       xpce-client  is  a  small  program  to  contact an xpce(1) server socket and feed the xpce
       process commands.  A generic server that provides the possibility to execute Prolog  goals
       is  available  in the library(pce_server).  This server may be started from xpce using the
       command

              ?- pce_server(socket).

       after which this server may be contacted using:

              % xpce-client socket
              (pce) send(new(P, picture), open).
              P = @717363
              (pce) exit
              %

   Options
       -b     Block until the xpce server closes the connection.  Otherwise xpce-client exists as
              soon as it has send all requests to the server without waiting for response.

       -c command
              Send  command  as  a  command to the server.  Without this option, xpce-client will
              copy standard input to the server socket and copy any output  from  the  socket  to
              standard output.
