annotate lisp/emacs-lisp/find-func.el @ 22363:d00f146c3e9d

#include sys/file.h (sys_access): Provide our own implementation which recognizes D_OK. (is_exec): New function. (stat): Use it. (init_environment): Set TMPDIR to an existing directory. Abort if none of the usual places is available. (sys_rename): On Windows 95, choose a temp name that includes the original file's base name and use an explicit loop rather than calling mktemp. Only attempt to unlink the newname if the rename fails, rather than second-guessing whether the old and new names refer to the same file.

;;; Commentary:
;;
;; The funniest thing about this is that I can't imagine why a package
;; so obviously useful as this hasn't been written before!!
;; This probably belongs in "help.el" or somewhere like that.
;;
;; Put this file in your `load-path', byte-compile it and add the
;; following code in your init file:
;;
;; ;;; find-func
;; (load "find-function")
;; (global-set-key [(control ?c) ?f] 'find-function)
;; (global-set-key [(control ?c) ?4 ?f] 'find-function-other-window)
;; (global-set-key [(control ?c) ?5 ?f] 'find-function-other-frame)
;; (global-set-key [(control ?c) ?k] 'find-function-on-key)
;;
;; and away you go!  It does pretty much what you would expect,
;; putting the cursor at the definition of the function at point.
;;
;; The code is adapted from `describe-function', `describe-key'
;; ("help.el") and `fff-find-loaded-emacs-lisp-function' (Noah Friedman's
;; "fff.el").

;;; To do:
;;
;; o custom?
;;
;; o improve handling of advice'd functions? (at the moment it goes to
;; the advice, not the actual definition)
