25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Defines most of Emacs's file- and directory-handling functions,
28 ;; including basic file visiting, backup generation, link handling,
29 ;; ITS-id version control, load- and write-hook handling, and the like.
31 ;;; Code:
34 "Backups of edited data files."
38 "Finding files."
43 "*Non-nil means delete auto-save file when a buffer is saved or killed."
48 nil
49 "*Alist of abbreviations for file directories.
50 A list of elements of the form (FROM . TO), each meaning to replace
51 FROM with TO when it appears in a directory name. This replacement is
52 done when setting up the default directory of a newly visited file.
53 *Every* FROM string should start with `^'.
55 Do not use `~' in the TO strings.
56 They should be ordinary absolute directory names.
58 Use this feature when you have directories which you normally refer to
59 via absolute symbolic links. Make TO the name of the link, and FROM
60 the name it is linked to."
68 ;;; Turn off backup files on VMS since it has version numbers.
70 "*Non-nil means make a backup of a file the first time it is saved.
71 This can be done by renaming the file or by copying.
73 Renaming means that Emacs renames the existing file so that it is a
74 backup file, then writes the buffer into a new file. Any other names
75 that the old file had will now refer to the backup file. The new file
76 is owned by you and its group is defaulted.
78 Copying means that Emacs copies the existing file into the backup
79 file, then writes the buffer on top of the existing file. Any other
80 names that the old file had will now refer to the new (edited) file.
81 The file's owner and group are unchanged.
83 The choice of renaming or copying is controlled by the variables
84 `backup-by-copying', `backup-by-copying-when-linked' and
85 `backup-by-copying-when-mismatch'. See also `backup-inhibited'."
89 ;; Do this so that local variables based on the file name
90 ;; are not overridden by the major mode.
92 "Non-nil means don't make a backup, regardless of the other parameters.
93 This variable is intended for use by making it local to a buffer.
98 "*Non-nil means always use copying to create backup files.
99 See documentation of variable `make-backup-files'."
104 "*Non-nil means use copying to create backups for files with multiple names.
105 This causes the alternate names to refer to the latest version as edited.
106 This variable is relevant only if `backup-by-copying' is nil."
111 "*Non-nil means create backups by copying if this preserves owner or group.
112 Renaming may still be used (subject to control of other variables)
113 when it would not result in changing the owner or group of the file;
114 that is, for files which are owned by you and whose group matches
115 the default for a new file created there by you.
116 This variable is relevant only if `backup-by-copying' is nil."
124 "Predicate that looks at a file name and decides whether to make backups.
128 "*Non-nil in a buffer means offer to save the buffer on exit
129 even if the buffer is not visiting a file.
130 Automatically local in all buffers."
136 "*Non-nil means find a file under alternative names, in existing buffers.
137 This means if any existing buffer is visiting the file you want
138 under another name, you get the existing buffer instead of a new buffer."
143 "*Non-nil means visit a file under its truename.
144 The truename of a file is found by chasing all links
145 both at the file level and at the levels of the containing directories."
150 nil
151 "*Specify which files should be reverted without query.
152 The value is a list of regular expressions.
153 If the file name matches one of these regular expressions,
154 then `revert-buffer' reverts the file without querying
155 if the file has changed on disk and you have not edited the buffer."
160 "The device number and file number of the file visited in the current buffer.
161 The value is a list of the form (FILENUM DEVNUM).
162 This pair of numbers uniquely identifies the file.
171 "*Non-nil means protect against I/O errors while saving files.
172 Some modes set this non-nil in particular buffers.
174 This feature works by writing the new contents into a temporary file
175 and then renaming the temporary file to replace the original.
176 In this way, any I/O error in writing leaves the original untouched,
177 and there is never any instant where the file is nonexistent.
179 Note that this feature forces backups to be made by copying.
180 Yet, at the same time, saving a precious file
181 breaks any hard links between it and other files."
186 "*Control use of version numbers for backup files.
187 t means make numeric backup versions unconditionally.
188 nil means make them for files that have some already.
189 `never' means do not make them."
195 "*When cleaning directory, number of versions to keep."
201 "*If t, delete excess backup versions silently.
202 If nil, ask confirmation. Any other value prevents any trimming."
209 "*Number of oldest versions to keep when a new numbered backup is made."
214 "*Number of newest versions to keep when a new numbered backup is made.
215 Includes the new backup. Must be > 0"
220 "*Value of t says silently ensure a file ends in a newline when it is saved.
221 Non-nil but not t says ask user whether to add a newline when there isn't one.
222 nil means don't add newlines."
229 "*Non-nil says by default do auto-saving of every file-visiting buffer."
234 "*Non-nil says auto-save a buffer in the file it is visiting, when practical.
235 Normally auto-save files are written under other names."
240 "*Non-nil means save word abbrevs too when files are saved.
241 Loading an abbrev file sets this to t."
246 "*Non-nil says run dired if `find-file' is given the name of a directory."
