@opindex --daemon
Start Emacs as a daemon---after Emacs starts up, it starts the Emacs
server and disconnects from the terminal without opening any frames.
+(Optionally, you can specify an explicit @var{name} for the server.)
You can then use the @command{emacsclient} command to connect to Emacs
for editing. @xref{Emacs Server}, for information about using Emacs
as a daemon.
-@item -daemon=@var{SERVER-NAME}
-Start emacs in background as a daemon, and use @var{SERVER-NAME} as
-the server name.
