    [--quit] [filename(s)...]

DESCRIPTION
    gedit is a text editor for the GNOME Desktop.

OPTIONS
    --help Prints the command line options.

    --debug[-section]
    Runs gedit in debug mode. In  debug mode function names are
    dumped to the console when they are invoked. Specific sections
    for debugging are allowed. The sections are: window, commands,
    document, file, plugins, prefs, print, search, undo, view and
    recent. Run `gedit --help' for more information.

    --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.

    --quit Quit an existing instance of gedit.

    filename(s)...
    Specifies  the file to open when gedit starts - if this is not
    specified, gedit will load a blank file with an Untitled 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".

PIPES
    Gedit accepts pipes, so it can be run after another command to load the
    output into gedit. For example :

    ls -l | gedit
