It exists in the CVS version. That's what --help outputs:

Usage: /usr/local/src/emacs-21.3.5_cvs/emacs_build/lib-src/emacsclient 
[OPTIONS] FILE...
Tell the Emacs server to visit the specified files.
Every FILE can be either just a FILENAME or [+LINE[:COLUMN]] FILENAME.

The following OPTIONS are accepted:
-V, --version           Just print a version info and return
-H, --help              Print this usage information message
-n, --no-wait           Don't wait for the server to return
-e, --eval              Evaluate the FILE arguments as ELisp expressions
-d, --display=DISPLAY   Visit the file in the given display
-s, --socket-name=FILENAME
                        Set the filename of the UNIX socket for communication
-a, --alternate-editor=EDITOR
                        Editor to fallback to if the server is not running

Daydreaming while smoking cigars can be a fire hazard. It can be as
dangerous as drugs and booze unless you know what you're doing. If you
know what you're doing, it can be as safe as walking down the street.
