emacs --eval of multiple functions on command line

Question

How do I evaluate multiple functions simultaneously using emacs --eval on command line? For example I want to combine the followings in a single command:

emacs --eval "(toggle-frame-maximized)"
emacs --eval "(sr-speedbar-toggle)"

I tried to wrap them together but all attempts failed. How do I do this?

Simply use (progn ). This should address your question:

emacs --eval "(progn (toggle-frame-maximized) (sr-speedbar-toggle))"

Please note that this does not execute the commands simultaneously (as you requested). It executes one command after another.

Or `emacs -f toggle-frame-maximized -f sr-speedbar-toggle`, and maybe multiple `--eval` works as well? – xuchunyang Dec 22 '16 at 04:45
