(Qlocal, QCname, QCbuffer, QChost, QCservice, QCfamily) (QClocal, QCremote, QCserver, QCdatagram, QCnowait, QCnoquery,QCstop) (QCcoding, QCoptions, QCfilter, QCsentinel, QClog, QCfeature): New variables. (NETCONN1_P): New macro. (DATAGRAM_SOCKETS): New conditional symbol. (datagram_address): New array. (DATAGRAM_CONN_P, DATAGRAM_CHAN_P): New macros. (status_message): Use concat3. (Fprocess_status): Add `listen' status to doc string. Return `stop' for a stopped network process. (Fset_process_buffer): Update contact plist for network process. (Fset_process_filter): Ditto. Don't enable input for stopped network processes. Server must listen, even if filter is t. (Fset_process_query_on_exit_flag, Fprocess_query_on_exit_flag): New functions. (Fprocess_kill_without_query): Removed. Now defined in simple.el. (Fprocess_contact): Added KEY argument. Handle datagrams. (list_processes_1): Optionally show only processes with the query on exit flag set. Dynamically adjust column widths. Omit tty column if not needed. Report stopped network processes. Identify server and datagram network processes. (Flist_processes): New optional arg `query-only'. (conv_sockaddr_to_lisp, get_lisp_to_sockaddr_size) (conv_lisp_to_sockaddr, set_socket_options) (network_process_featurep, unwind_request_sigio): New helper functions. (Fprocess_datagram_address, Fset_process_datagram_address): (Fset_network_process_options): New lisp functions. (Fopen_network_stream): Removed. Now defined in simple.el. (Fmake_network_process): New lisp function. Code is based on previous Fopen_network_stream, but heavily reworked with new property list based argument list, support for datagrams, server processes, and local sockets in addition to old client-only functionality. (server_accept_connection): New function. (wait_reading_process_input): Use it to handle incoming connects. Do not enable input on a new connection if process is stopped. (read_process_output): Handle datagram sockets. Use 2k buffer for them. (send_process): Handle datagram sockets. (Fstop_process, Fcontinue_process): Apply to network processes. A stopped network process is indicated by setting command field to t . (Fprocess_send_eof): No-op if datagram connection. (Fstatus_notify): Don't read input for a stream server socket or a stopped network process. (init_process): Initialize datagram_address array. (syms_of_process): Intern and staticpro new variables, defsubr new functions.

README for Edition 2.6 of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

* This directory contains the texinfo source files for the Reference
Manual, make-permuted-index, and the latest version of texinfo.tex,
which handles forms that cannot be handled by the older versions of
texinfo.tex.

* Report Lisp Manual bugs to [e-mail].  We don't read
these bug reports until it's time for a new edition.  To report other
Emacs bugs, use [e-mail].  To ask questions, use the
newsgroup gnu.emacs.help.

* The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is quite large.  It totals around
980 pages in smallbook format; the info files total almost
2.5 megabytes.

* You can format this manual either for Info or for printing hardcopy
using TeX.  

* You can buy nicely printed copies from the Free Software Foundation.
For info, send mail to [e-mail] or phone [phone].  Buying a
manual from the Free Software Foundation helps support our GNU
development work.

** This distribution contains a Makefile that you can use with GNU Make.
Otherwise, here are detailed instructions:

** HARDCOPY: A copy of the version of `texinfo.tex' that formats this
manual is included in this distribution.

The master file for formatting this manual for Tex is called
`elisp.texi'.  It contains @include commands to include all the
chapters that make up the manual.  In addition, `elisp.texi' has
the title page in a new format designed by Karl Berry, using the
@titlespec command.

To create a DVI file with a sorted index, execute the following
commands in the shell:

% ./configure
% make index.texi
% make elisp.dvi

*** To create a DVI file with a permuted index, you may experiment
with `make-permuted-index'.  

** To make an Info file, you need to install Texinfo, then run
`./configure' and `make elisp'.  To install the Info files, run
`make install'.
