SUBJECT: batch mode doesn`t send princ output to stdout
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In GNU Emacs 20.5.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
of Tue Jan 4 2000 on coulee
configured using `configure --srcdir=/src/emacs-20.5 --prefix=/packages/emacs/
emacs20
--with-pop --datadir=/common/share`
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I noticed this problem some time ago and was able to work around it,
but since I also can no longer compile emacs-19.34, and my compiled
emacs-19.34 is suffering bit rot, this is becoming more of a problem.
Basically, the problem is starting emacs-20.x with -batch does not
direct output to standard output like it did in emacs-19. For
example, consider an elisp file /tmp/foo.el, which contains one line:
(princ "foo")
$ echo `/packages/emacs/emacs19/bin/emacs --batch -l /tmp/foo.el`
foo
$ echo `/packages/emacs/emacs20/bin/emacs --batch -l /tmp/foo.el`
Notice that nothing is emitted in the case of emacs-20. The emacs-19
behavior was useful for me. I have several shell scripts which depend
on the behavior.
