## LecternClient(1)

### NAME

> LecternClient - send request to Lectern

### SYNTAX

> LecternClient pathname

> or:

> LecternClient -l arg...

> or:

> LecternClient -f path

### DESCRIPTION

> This program sends a message to the latest instance of Lectern that was started by the current user on the current machine. If it can't contact an instance of Lectern, it attempts to start another one.

> See Lectern(1) for the interpretation of the arguments. When LecternClient is called with a single pathname, it is made absolute if necessary (by prefixing it with the pathname of the current working directory) and passed to Lectern. When LecternClient is called with the -f option, its single argument is interpreted as the name of a file containing one or more lines, each of which is passed unchanged to Lectern. When LecternClient is called with the -l option, its remaining arguments are passed uninterpreted to Lectern.
