;;; Commentary:

;;; If you put a time stamp template anywhere in the first 8 lines of a file,
;;; it can be updated every time you save the file.  See the top of
;;; time-stamp.el for a sample.  The template looks like one of the following:
;;;     Time-stamp: <>
;;;     Time-stamp: ""
;;; The time stamp is written between the brackets or quotes, resulting in
;;;     Time-stamp: <93/06/18 10:26:51 gildea>
;;; Here is an example which puts the file name and time stamp in the binary:
;;; static char *time_stamp = "sdmain.c Time-stamp: <>";

;;; To activate automatic time stamping, add this code to your .emacs file:
;;;
;;; (autoload 'time-stamp "time-stamp" "Update the time stamp in a buffer." t)
;;; (if (not (memq 'time-stamp write-file-hooks))
;;;     (setq write-file-hooks
;;;           (cons 'time-stamp write-file-hooks)))

;;; Change Log:

;;; Originally based on the 19 Dec 88 version of
;;;   date.el by John Sturdy <mcvax!harlqn.co.uk![e-mail]>

;;; Code:

(defvar time-stamp-active t
  "*Non-nil to enable time-stamping of files.  See the function time-stamp.")

(defvar time-stamp-format
  '(time-stamp-yy/mm/dd time-stamp-hh:mm:ss user-login-name)
  "*A list of functions to call to generate the time stamp string.
Each element of the list is called as a function and the results are
concatenated together separated by spaces.  Elements may also be strings,
which are included verbatim.  Spaces are not inserted around literal strings.")

;;; Do not change time-stamp-line-limit, time-stamp-start, or
;;; time-stamp-end in your .emacs or you will be incompatible
;;; with other people's files!  If you must change them,
;;; do so only in the local variables section of the file itself.
