annotate lisp/options.el @ 24419:30e478cd167e

(shell-command-default-error-buffer): Renamed from shell-command-on-region-default-error-buffer. (shell-command-on-region): Mention in echo area when there is some error output. Mention success or failure, too. Accumulate multiple error outputs going forward, with formfeed in between. Display the error buffer when we have put something in it. (shell-command): Add the ERROR-BUFFER argument feature.

;;; Commentary:

;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code.  There are two entry
;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'.  The latter enters a major
;; mode specifically for editing option values.  Do `M-x describe-mode' in
;; that context for more details.

;; The customization buffer feature is intended to make this obsolete.

;;; Code:

  "Display a list of Emacs user options, with values and documentation."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
