25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; To use the file, put (require 'midnight) into your .emacs. Then, at
28 ;; midnight, Emacs will run the normal hook `midnight-hook'. You can
29 ;; put whatever you like there, say, `calendar'; by default there is
30 ;; only one function there - `clean-buffer-list'. It will kill the
31 ;; buffers matching `clean-buffer-list-kill-buffer-names' and
32 ;; `clean-buffer-list-kill-regexps' and the buffers which where last
33 ;; displayed more than `clean-buffer-list-delay-general' days ago,
34 ;; keeping `clean-buffer-list-kill-never-buffer-names' and
35 ;; `clean-buffer-list-kill-never-regexps'.
