Can emacsclient eval /run a file

Question

Just a quick question,

Can emacsclient evaluate/run Elisp code from a given file, or even better, from stdin?

Answer 1

Emacsclient has the --eval (same as -e) option, so

emacsclient --eval '(load "my-file.el")'

will read and evaluate the file "my-file.el".

I don't think Emacs has access to the emacsclient's stdin, but you can do something like

cat <<EOF > my-file.el

and let user enter the lisp form terminated by EOF on a otherwise blank like, then pass "my-file.el" to load and remove the file.
