25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This package defines a minor mode Emacs Lock to mark a buffer as
28 ;; protected against accidental killing, or exiting Emacs, or both.
29 ;; Buffers associated with inferior modes, like shell or telnet, can
30 ;; be treated specially, by auto-unlocking them if their interior
31 ;; processes are dead.
