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