NAME
     xxeedd - Xcode text editor invocation tool.

SYNOPSIS
     xxeedd [-xxccwwrrbbhhvv] [-ll lineno] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The xxeedd tool launches the Xcode application and opens the given docu-
     ments, or opens a new untitled document, optionally with the contents of
     standard in.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
     The options for xxeedd are similar to those for the command-line utiltiies
     for other text editors:

     -x, -launch
              Launches Xcode opening a new empty unsaved file, without reading
              from standard input.

     -c, -create
              Creates any files in the file list that do not already exist.
              If used without -launch, standard input will be read and piped
              to the last file created.

     -w, -wait
              Wait for the files to be closed before exiting.  xxeedd will idle
              in a run loop waiting for a notification from Xcode when each
              file is closed, and will only terminate when all are closed.
              This is useful when invoking it from a script.

     -l, -line 
              Selects the given line in the last file opened.

     -b, -background
              Opens Xcode without activating it; the process that invoked xxeedd
              remains in front.

     -h, -help
              Prints a brief summary of usage.

     -v, -version
              Prints the version number of xxeedd

     [file...]
              A list of file paths.  Existing files will be opened; nonexis-
              tent files will be created only if the -create flag is passed.
              If no files are passed, then standard input will be read and
              piped into a new untitled dcument (unless -launch is passed).
              If -create and at least one nonexistent file name is passed,
              the last nonexistent file will be created, filled with the stan-
              dard input, and opened.

HISTORY     xxeedd was introduced in Mac OS X 10.5 with Xcode 3.0.
