NAME
       gedit - general-purpose text editor

SYNOPSIS
       gedit [OPTION...] [FILE...] [+LINE[:COLUMN]]
       gedit [OPTION...] -

DESCRIPTION
       gedit is a general-purpose text editor.

       The  first  goal of gedit is to be easy to use, with a simple interface
       by default. More advanced features are available by enabling plugins.

OPTIONS
       --encoding
              Set the character encoding to be  used  for  opening  the  files
              listed on the command line.

       --list-encodings
              Display  list  of  possible  values  for the encoding option and
              exit.

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

       --new-document
              Create a new document in an existing instance of gedit.

       -s, --standalone
              Run gedit in standalone mode.

       -w, --wait
              Open files and block the gedit process.

       --help Prints the command line options.

       --version
              Output version information and exit.

       FILE   Specifies the file to open when gedit starts.  If  this  is  not
              specified,  gedit  will load a blank file with an "Unsaved Docu-
              ment" label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are  separated
              by  spaces.   gedit  also supports handling of remote files. For
              example, you can pass the location of a webpage to gedit ,  like
              "http://www.gnome.org",  or  load a file from a FTP server, like
              "ftp://ftp.gnome.org/robots.txt".

       -      gedit will read from stdin

       +LINE  For the first file, go to the line specified by LINE (do not in-
              sert  a  space between the "+" sign and the number).  If LINE is
              missing, go to the last line.

       COLUMN For the first file, go to the column specified  by  COLUMN.   If
              COLUMN is missing, go to the first column.
