38 "*Alist of abbreviations for file directories.
39 A list of elements of the form (FROM . TO), each meaning to replace
40 FROM with TO when it appears in a directory name. This replacement is
41 done when setting up the default directory of a newly visited file.
42 *Every* FROM string should start with `^'.
44 Do not use `~' in the TO strings.
45 They should be ordinary absolute directory names.
47 Use this feature when you have directories which you normally refer to
48 via absolute symbolic links. Make TO the name of the link, and FROM
51 ;;; Turn off backup files on VMS since it has version numbers.
53 "*Non-nil means make a backup of a file the first time it is saved.
54 This can be done by renaming the file or by copying.
56 Renaming means that Emacs renames the existing file so that it is a
57 backup file, then writes the buffer into a new file. Any other names
58 that the old file had will now refer to the backup file. The new file
59 is owned by you and its group is defaulted.
61 Copying means that Emacs copies the existing file into the backup
62 file, then writes the buffer on top of the existing file. Any other
63 names that the old file had will now refer to the new (edited) file.
64 The file's owner and group are unchanged.
66 The choice of renaming or copying is controlled by the variables
67 `backup-by-copying', `backup-by-copying-when-linked' and
70 ;; Do this so that local variables based on the file name
71 ;; are not overridden by the major mode.
73 "Non-nil means don't make a backup, regardless of the other parameters.
74 This variable is intended for use by making it local to a buffer.
79 "*Non-nil means always use copying to create backup files.
83 "*Non-nil means use copying to create backups for files with multiple names.
84 This causes the alternate names to refer to the latest version as edited.
88 "*Non-nil means create backups by copying if this preserves owner or group.
89 Renaming may still be used (subject to control of other variables)
90 when it would not result in changing the owner or group of the file;
91 that is, for files which are owned by you and whose group matches
92 the default for a new file created there by you.
99 "Predicate that looks at a file name and decides whether to make backups.
103 "*Non-nil in a buffer means offer to save the buffer on exit
104 even if the buffer is not visiting a file.
109 "*Non-nil means find a file under alternative names, in existing buffers.
110 This means if any existing buffer is visiting the file you want
114 "*Non-nil means visit a file under its truename.
115 The truename of a file is found by chasing all links
119 "The device number and file number of the file visited in the current buffer.
120 The value is a list of the form (FILENUM DEVNUM).
121 This pair of numbers uniquely identifies the file.
130 "*Non-nil means protect against I/O errors while saving files.
131 Some modes set this non-nil in particular buffers.
133 This feature works by writing the new contents into a temporary file
134 and then renaming the temporary file to replace the original.
135 In this way, any I/O error in writing leaves the original untouched,
136 and there is never any instant where the file is nonexistent.
138 Note that this feature forces backups to be made by copying.
139 Yet, at the same time, saving a precious file
143 "*Control use of version numbers for backup files.
144 t means make numeric backup versions unconditionally.
145 nil means make them for files that have some already.
152 "*If t, delete excess backup versions silently.
159 "*Number of newest versions to keep when a new numbered backup is made.
163 "*Value of t says silently ensure a file ends in a newline when it is saved.
164 Non-nil but not t says ask user whether to add a newline when there isn't one.
171 "*Non-nil says auto-save a buffer in the file it is visiting, when practical.
175 "*Non-nil means save word abbrevs too when files are saved.

225 This variable is meant to be used for hooks that pertain to the
226 buffer's contents, not to the particular visited file; thus,
227 `set-visited-file-name' does not clear this variable; but changing the
228 major mode does clear it.
230 This variable automatically becomes buffer-local whenever it is set.
