comparison lispref/text.texi @ 39528:ed97ba5c9ba8

(Property Search): Correct descriptions of `next-char-property-change' and `previous-char-property-change'. Add entries for `next-single-char-property-change' and `previous-single-char-property-change'. Make operand names a bit more consistent.

@var{pos} instead of forward.  If the value is non-@code{nil}, it is a

@defun next-char-property-change position &optional limit
This is like @code{next-property-change} except that it considers
overlay properties as well as text properties.  There is no @var{object}
operand because this function operates only on the current buffer.  It
returns the next address at which either kind of property changes.
@end defun

@defun previous-char-property-change position &optional limit
This is like @code{next-char-property-change}, but scans back from
@var{position} instead of forward.

@defun text-property-any start end prop value &optional object
This function returns non-@code{nil} if at least one character between
@var{start} and @var{end} has a property @var{prop} whose value is

@var{limit} equals @var{pos}.
@end defun

@defun next-char-property-change pos &optional limit
This is like @code{next-property-change} except that it considers
overlay properties as well as text properties, and if no change is
found before the end of the buffer, it returns the maximum buffer
position rather than @code{nil} (in this sense, it resembles the
corresponding overlay function @code{next-overlay-change}, rather than
@code{next-property-change}).  There is no @var{object} operand
because this function operates only on the current buffer.  It returns
the next address at which either kind of property changes.
@end defun

@defun previous-char-property-change pos &optional limit
This is like @code{next-char-property-change}, but scans back from
@var{pos} instead of forward, and returns the minimum buffer
position if no change is found.
@end defun

@defun next-single-char-property-change pos prop &optional object limit
This is like @code{next-single-property-change} except that it
considers overlay properties as well as text properties, and if no
change is found before the end of the @var{object}, it returns the
maximum valid position in @var{object} rather than @code{nil}.  Unlike
@code{next-char-property-change}, this function @emph{does} have an
@var{object} operand; if @var{object} is not a buffer, only
text-properties are considered.
@end defun

@defun previous-single-char-property-change pos prop &optional object limit
This is like @code{next-single-char-property-change}, but scans back
from @var{pos} instead of forward, and returns the minimum valid
position in @var{object} if no change is found.
@end defun

@defun text-property-any start end prop value &optional object
This function returns non-@code{nil} if at least one character between
@var{start} and @var{end} has a property @var{prop} whose value is
