I sent a message before saying I had an emacs lisp code which allows
emacsclient to take linenumber as an argument. Well, at first I posted
about 6 of them directly but there seems to be a pretty high demand so I
am posting it to the net.

;;; This Lisp code is run in Emacs when it is to operate as
;;; a server for other processes.
;;; Load this library and do M-x server-edit to enable Emacs as a server.
;;; Emacs runs the program ../etc/server as a subprocess
;;; for communication with clients. If there are no client buffers to edit,
;;; server-edit acts like (switch-to-buffer (other-buffer))
;;; When some other program runs "the editor" to edit a file,
;;; "the editor" can be the Emacs client program ../etc/emacsclient.
;;; This program transmits the file names to Emacs through
;;; the server subprocess, and Emacs visits them and lets you edit them.
;;; Note that any number of clients may dispatch files to emacs to be edited.
;;; When you finish editing a Server buffer, again call server-edit
;;; to mark that buffer as done for the client and switch to the next
;;; Server buffer. When all the buffers for a client have been edited
;;; and exited with server-edit, the client "editor" will return
;;; to the program that invoked it.
;;; Your editing commands and Emacs's display output go to and from
;;; the terminal in the usual way. Thus, server operation is possible
;;; only when Emacs can talk to the terminal at the time you invoke
;;; the client. This is possible in two cases:
;;; 1. On a window system, where Emacs runs in one window and the
;;; program that wants to use "the editor" runs in another.
;;; 2. When the program that wants to use "the editor" is running
;;; as a subprocess of Emacs.
;;; The buffer local variable "server-buffer-clients" lists
;;; the clients who are waiting for this buffer to be edited.
;;; The global variable "server-clients" lists all the waiting clients,
;;; and which files are yet to be edited for each.
