diff src/fileio.c @ 19641:d7f2d75a09d3

(Vset_auto_coding_function): Name changed from Vauto_file_coding_system. (syms_of_fileio): Adjusted for the above change. Doc-string modified. (Finsert_file_contents): The argument for Vset_auto_coding is a concatination of the heading 1K-byte and the tailing 3K-byte.
