       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.
