26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; Emacs's standard method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,
29 ;; etc. to the end of (all but one of) the buffers. This file replaces
30 ;; that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
31 ;; uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
32 ;; are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
33 ;; /usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
34 ;; Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
35 ;; Other buffer name styles are also available.
37 ;; To use this file, do (require 'uniquify)
38 ;; and set uniquify-buffer-name-style to one of its non-nil alternative values.
40 ;; For other options, see "User-visible variables", below.
42 ;; A version of uniquify.el that works under Emacs 18, Emacs 19, XEmacs,
43 ;; and InfoDock is available from the maintainer.
45 ;; Doesn't correctly handle buffer names created by M-x write-file in Emacs 18.
46 ;; Doesn't work under NT when backslash is used as a path separator (forward
47 ;; slash path separator works fine). To fix, check system-type against
48 ;; 'windows-nt, write a routine that breaks paths down into components.
49 ;; (Surprisingly, there isn't one built in.)
51 ;;; Change Log:

54 ;; Converted for Emacs 18 by Stephen Gildea <gildea@lcs.mit.edu>
55 ;; Make uniquify-min-dir-content 0 truly non-invasive. gildea 23 May 89
56 ;; Some cleanup. uniquify-min-dir-content default 0. gildea 01 Jun 89
57 ;; Don't rename to "". Michael Ernst <mernst@theory.lcs.mit.edu> 15 Jun 94
58 ;; Add kill-buffer-hook. Kenneth Manheimer <ken.manheimer@nist.gov> 09 May 95

64 ;; add uniquify-ask-about-buffer-names-p. king, mernst 13 Jun 95
65 ;; Prefix functions by "uniquify-..."; rename mnemonic-buffer-names to
66 ;; uniquify-buffer-name-style; add 'forward and 'post-forward-angle-brackets
67 ;; styles; remove uniquify-reverse-dir-content-p; add
68 ;; uniquify-trailing-separator-p. mernst 4 Aug 95
69 ;; Don't call expand-file-name on nil. mernst 7 Jan 96
