25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Introduction:
29 ;; Whenever a file that Emacs is editing has been changed by another
30 ;; program the user normally has to execute the command `revert-buffer'
31 ;; to load the new content of the file into Emacs.
33 ;; This package contains two minor modes: Global Auto-Revert Mode and
34 ;; Auto-Revert Mode. Both modes automatically revert buffers
35 ;; whenever the corresponding files have been changed on disk and the
36 ;; buffer contains no unsaved changes.
38 ;; Auto-Revert Mode can be activated for individual buffers. Global
39 ;; Auto-Revert Mode applies to all file buffers. (If the user option
40 ;; `global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers' is non-nil, it also applies
41 ;; to some non-file buffers. This option is disabled by default.)
43 ;; Since checking a remote file is slow, these modes check or revert
44 ;; remote files only if the user option `auto-revert-remote-files' is
45 ;; non-nil. It is recommended to disable version control for remote
46 ;; files.
48 ;; Both modes operate by checking the time stamp of all files at
49 ;; intervals of `auto-revert-interval'. The default is every five
50 ;; seconds. The check is aborted whenever the user actually uses
51 ;; Emacs. You should never even notice that this package is active
52 ;; (except that your buffers will be reverted, of course).
54 ;; If the file exists, Auto-Revert Mode updates the buffer based on
55 ;; its (possibly empty) contents. If the file no longer exists, then
56 ;; there is nothing to revert, so it does not modify the buffer. Once
57 ;; a deleted file corresponding to a buffer in Auto-Revert Mode
58 ;; reappears, Auto-Revert Mode continues to work.
60 ;; If Emacs is compiled with file notification support, notifications
61 ;; are used instead of checking the time stamp of the files. You can
62 ;; disable this by setting the user option `auto-revert-use-notify' to
63 ;; nil. Alternatively, a regular expression of directories to be
64 ;; excluded from file notifications can be specified by
65 ;; `auto-revert-notify-exclude-dir-regexp'.
67 ;; After reverting a file buffer, Auto-Revert Mode normally puts point
68 ;; at the same position that a regular manual revert would. However,
69 ;; there is one exception to this rule. If point is at the end of the
70 ;; buffer before reverting, it stays at the end. Similarly if point
71 ;; is displayed at the end of a file buffer in any window, it will stay
72 ;; at the end of the buffer in that window, even if the window is not
73 ;; selected. This way, you can use Auto-Revert Mode to `tail' a file.
74 ;; Just put point at the end of the buffer and it will stay there.
75 ;; These rules apply to file buffers. For non-file buffers, the
76 ;; behavior may be mode dependent.
78 ;; While you can use Auto-Revert Mode to tail a file, this package
79 ;; contains a third minor mode, Auto-Revert Tail Mode, which does so
80 ;; more efficiently, as long as you are sure that the file will only
81 ;; change by growing at the end. It only appends the new output,
82 ;; instead of reverting the entire buffer. It does so even if the
83 ;; buffer contains unsaved changes. (Because they will not be lost.)
85 ;; Usage:
87 ;; Go to the appropriate buffer and press either of:
88 ;; M-x auto-revert-mode RET
89 ;; M-x auto-revert-tail-mode RET
91 ;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode, press:
92 ;; M-x global-auto-revert-mode RET
94 ;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode every time Emacs is started
95 ;; customize the option `global-auto-revert-mode' or the following
96 ;; line could be added to your ~/.emacs:
97 ;; (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
99 ;; The function `turn-on-auto-revert-mode' could be added to any major
100 ;; mode hook to activate Auto-Revert Mode for all buffers in that
101 ;; mode. For example, the following line will activate Auto-Revert
102 ;; Mode in all C mode buffers:
104 ;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook #'turn-on-auto-revert-mode)
