gedit
is the official text editor of the GNOME desktop environment.
While aiming at simplicity and ease of use,
gedit
is a powerful general purpose text editor.
It can be used to create and edit all kinds of text files.
gedit
features a flexible plugin system which can be used to dynamically add
new advanced features to
gedit
itself.

If "num" is missing, go to the last line.
filename(s)...
Specifies the file to open when
gedit

separated by spaces.
gedit
also supports handling of remote files. For example, you can pass the location
of a webpage to
gedit,
like "http://www.gnome.org", or load a file from a FTP server,
like "ftp://ftp.gnome.org/robots.txt".
