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