(underlying_strftime): Set the buffer to a nonzero value before calling strftime, and check to see whether strftime has set the buffer to zero. This lets us distinguish between an empty buffer and an error. I'm installing this patch by hand now; it will be superseded whenever the glibc sources are propagated back to fsf.org.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package can be used to arrange for automatic uncompress of
;; compressed files when they are visited.
;; All that's necessary is to load it.  This can conveniently be done from
;; your .emacs file.

;; M-x auto-compression-mode is a more modern replacement for this package.

;;; Code:

;; When we are about to make a backup file,
;; uncompress the file we visited
;; so that making the backup can work properly.
;; This is used as a write-file-hook.
