Documentation

Toggle Server mode.

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Server mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate (default-value \=server-mode)'.

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.

Server mode runs a process that accepts commands from the emacsclient program. See Info node (emacs)Emacs server and server-start for details.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
