31 ;; This loop is the guts for non-standard modes which retain control
32 ;; until some event occurs. It is a `do-forever', the only way out is
33 ;; to throw. It assumes that you have set up the keymap, window, and
34 ;; everything else: all it does is read commands and execute them -
35 ;; providing error messages should one occur (if there is no loop
36 ;; function - which see). The required argument is a tag which should
37 ;; expect a value of nil if the user decides to punt. The second
38 ;; argument is the prompt to be used: if nil, use "->", if 'noprompt,
39 ;; don't use a prompt, if a string, use that string as prompt, and if
40 ;; a function of no variable, it will be evaluated in every iteration
41 ;; of the loop and its return value, which can be nil, 'noprompt or a
42 ;; string, will be used as prompt. Given third argument non-nil, it
43 ;; INHIBITS quitting unless the user types C-g at toplevel. This is
44 ;; so user can do things like C-u C-g and not get thrown out. Fourth
45 ;; argument, if non-nil, should be a function of two arguments which
46 ;; is called after every command is executed. The fifth argument, if
47 ;; provided, is the state variable for the function. If the
48 ;; loop-function gets an error, the loop will abort WITHOUT throwing
49 ;; (moral: use unwind-protect around call to this function for any
50 ;; critical stuff). The second argument for the loop function is the
51 ;; conditions for any error that occurred or nil if none.
