;;; Commentary:

;; This code sets a buffer-local variable to t if toggle-emacs-lock is run,
;; then if the user attempts to exit emacs, the locked buffer name will be
;; displayed and the exit aborted.  This is just a way of protecting
;; yourself from yourself.  For example, if you have a shell running a big
;; program and exiting emacs would abort that program, you may want to lock
;; that buffer, then if you forget about it after a while, you won't
;; accidentally exit emacs.  To unlock the buffer, just goto the buffer and
;; run toggle-emacs-lock again.

;;; Code:

(defvar lock-emacs-from-exiting nil
  "Whether emacs is locked to prevent exiting.  See `check-emacs-lock'.")
(make-variable-buffer-local 'lock-emacs-from-exiting)

(defun check-emacs-lock ()
  "Check if variable `lock-emacs-from-exiting' is t for any buffer.
If any t is found, signal error and display the locked buffer name."
  (let ((buffers (buffer-list)))
    (save-excursion
      (while buffers 
	(set-buffer (car buffers))
	(if lock-emacs-from-exiting
	    (error "Emacs is locked from exit due to buffer: %s" (buffer-name))
	  (setq buffers (cdr buffers)))))))

  "Toggle `lock-emacs-from-exiting' between t and nil for the current buffer.
