Run arbitrary command in a terminal buffer.
Originally Emacs provide M-x term function, which uses term-mode
and works as a terminal-emulator.
It can be used to run shell programs like bash, zsh or ipython
interactively.
However, this function does not provide the feature to invoke programs with
arguments.
Here comes term-run, which provides functions to invoke arbitrary commands in
terminal buffers.
For example, you can run git command with any arguments in terminal buffer
directly (without running bash with M-x term first).
Try typing M-x term-run-shell-command RET git add -p RET !
-
term-run-shell-command (command &optional new-buffer-p)Run COMMAND in a terminal buffer.
This function is intended mainly to be called interactively and asks the command-line to invoke.
If called with prefix argument, this function will generate new terminal buffer for running COMMAND. Otherwise, always use the buffer named
*Term-Run Shell Command*. In this case, the old process in the buffer will be destroyed. -
term-run (program &optional buffer-or-name &rest args)Run PROGRAM in BUFFER-OR-NAME with ARGS in terminal buffer.
If BUFFER-OR-NAME is given, use this buffer. In this case, old process in the buffer will be destroyed. Otherwise, new buffer will be generated automatically from PROGRAM.
This function returns the buffer where the process starts running.
