This manual page documents briefly the el command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documen-
tation in the GNU Info format; see below.
el is a program that You can make a tuned shell-command for Oneliner
with. This command can send S-exp to Emacs, and this can make Emacs
evaluate it, too. In other words, you can execute Emacs's function
from shell-commands. And you can make Emacs work in closer cooperation
with your favorite shell-commands.

options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.
