28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; Emacs's standard method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,
31 ;; etc. to the end of (all but one of) the buffers. This file replaces
32 ;; that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
33 ;; uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
34 ;; are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
35 ;; /usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
36 ;; Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
37 ;; Other buffer name styles are also available.
39 ;; To use this file, do (require 'uniquify)
40 ;; and set uniquify-buffer-name-style to one of its non-nil alternative values.
42 ;; For other options, see "User-visible variables", below.
44 ;; A version of uniquify.el that works under Emacs 18, Emacs 19, XEmacs,
45 ;; and InfoDock is available from the maintainer.
