@deffn Command beginning-of-line &optional count
This function moves point to the beginning of the current line.  With an
argument @var{count} not @code{nil} or 1, it moves forward
@var{count}@minus{}1 lines and then to the beginning of the line.

If this function reaches the end of the buffer (or of the accessible
portion, if narrowing is in effect), it positions point there.  No error
is signaled.
@end deffn

@deffn Command end-of-line &optional count
This function moves point to the end of the current line.  With an
argument @var{count} not @code{nil} or 1, it moves forward
@var{count}@minus{}1 lines and then to the end of the line.

If this function reaches the end of the buffer (or of the accessible
portion, if narrowing is in effect), it positions point there.  No error
is signaled.

@deffn Command beginning-of-line &optional count
This function moves point to the beginning of the current line.  With an
argument @var{count} not @code{nil} or 1, it moves forward
@var{count}@minus{}1 lines and then to the beginning of the line.

This command does not move point across a field boundary
(@pxref{Fields}) unless doing so would move beyond there to a
different line; if @var{count} is @code{nil} or 1, and point starts at
a field boundary, point does not move.  To ignore field boundaries,
use the @code{forward-line} function instead.  For instance,
@code{(forward-line 0)} does the same thing as
@code{(beginning-of-line)}, except that it ignores field boundaries.

If this function reaches the end of the buffer (or of the accessible
portion, if narrowing is in effect), it positions point there.  No error
is signaled.
