good in customization variables.

clocking into a different task while an active clock is running.
This then allows the default behavior of clocking out of the open

type.
* org.el (org-pre-cycle-hook): Document that `empty' can also be
the value of ARG when doing local cycling.
2009-11-13 John Wiegley <johnw@newartisans.com>
* org-clock.el (org-clock-resolve-clock): If keeping or
subtracting time results in a clock out at a time in the past, and
if the resolution occurred due to idleness or invoking `M-x
org-resolve-clocks', remember that past moment in time. On the
next clock in, the user will be prompted to see if they want to
back-date their new clock to then.
(org-clock-resolve): Do not jump the user to the location of a
dangling clock if the resolution is occuring due to an idle
timeout. In that case there is typically only one dangling clock,
the active one, and there is no value gained by shuffling their
windows around to show it to them. Being prompted to resolve an
idle clock should be as inobtrusive as possible.
(org-resolve-clocks-if-idle): New function that resolves only the
currently active clock if the user has exceeded the time returned
by `org-user-idle-seconds', based on the value of
`org-clock-idle-time'.
(org-clock-in): If, after resolving clocks,
(org-clock-out): Cancel the `org-clock-idle-timer' on clock out.
* org-clock.el (org-clock-resolve-clock): New function that
resolves a clock to a specific time, closing or resuming as need
be, and possibly even starting a new clock.
(org-clock-resolve): New function used by `org-resolve-clocks'
that sets up for the call to `org-clock-resolve-clock'. It
determines the time to resolve to based on a single-character
selection from the user to either keep time, subtract away time or
cancel the clock.
(org-resolve-clocks): New user command which resolves dangling
clocks -- that is, open but not active -- anywhere in the file
list returned by `org-files-list'.
(org-clock-in): Automatically resolve dangling clocks whenever a
user clocks in.
(org-clock-cancel): If the user cancels the solely clock in a
LOGBOOK, remove the empty drawer.
* org-clock.el (org-clock-idle-time): New user customizable option
for detecting whether the user has left a clock idle. Note: it is
only used in this commit to test whether it's worthwhile to check
OS X to get the Mac user's current idle time. If the Emacs idle
time is less than the value, the user hasn't been away long enough
to be worth checking (a more expensive test than just getting
Emacs idle time).
(org-user-idle-seconds, org-mac-idle-seconds)
(org-emacs-idle-seconds): This three functions, in conjunction
with the user customization variable `org-clock-idle-time', return
the number of seconds (as a floating point) that the user has been
away from their Emacs (or, if running on OS X, their computer).
* org-clock.el (org-find-open-clocks): New function that returns a
list of all open clocks in the given FILE. Note that each clock
it returns is a cons cell of the format (MARKER . START-TIME).
This "clock" value is used by several of the new clock module
utility functions.
(org-is-active-clock): New inline function which tests whether the
given clock value is the same as the currently active clock.
Returns non-nil if this is the case.
(org-with-clock-position): New macro that evaluates FORMS with
point in the buffer and at the position of the given clock.
Changes to the current clock are global.
(org-with-clock): New macro that evaluates FORMS with point in the
buffer and at the position of the given clock. However, changes
to the current clock are local and have no effect on the user's
active clock. This allows, for example, far any clock to be
cancelled without cancelling the active clock.
(org-clock-clock-in): New inline function that switches the active
clock to the given clock. If either the argument RESUME, or the
global `org-clock-in-resume', are non-nil, it will resume a clock
that was previously left open.

Auto-saving preserves the text from earlier in the current editing session; backup files preserve file contents prior to the current session. @menu * Backup Files:: How backup files are made; how their names are chosen. * Auto-Saving:: How auto-save files are made; how their names are chosen. * Reverting:: @code{revert-buffer}, and how to customize what it does. @end menu @node Backup Files @section Backup Files @cindex backup file A @dfn{backup file} is a copy of the old contents of a file you are editing. Emacs makes a backup file the first time you save a buffer into its visited file. Thus, normally, the backup file contains the contents of the file as it was before the current editing session. The contents of the backup file normally remain unchanged once it exists. Backups are usually made by renaming the visited file to a new name. Optionally, you can specify that backup files should be made by copying the visited file. This choice makes a difference for files with multiple names; it also can affect whether the edited file remains owned by the original owner or becomes owned by the user editing it. By default, Emacs makes a single backup file for each file edited. You can alternatively request numbered backups; then each new backup file gets a new name. You can delete old numbered backups when you don't want them any more, or Emacs can delete them automatically. @menu * Making Backups:: How Emacs makes backup files, and when. * Rename or Copy:: Two alternatives: renaming the old file or copying it. * Numbered Backups:: Keeping multiple backups for each source file. * Backup Names:: How backup file names are computed; customization. @end menu @node Making Backups @subsection Making Backup Files @defun backup-buffer This function makes a backup of the file visited by the current buffer, if appropriate. It is called by @code{save-buffer} before saving the buffer the first time. If a backup was made by renaming, the return value is a cons cell of the form (@var{modes} . @var{backupname}), where @var{modes} are the mode bits of the original file, as returned by @code{file-modes} (@pxref{File Attributes,, Other Information about Files}), and @var{backupname} is the name of the backup. In all other cases, that is, if a backup was made by copying or if no backup was made, this function returns @code{nil}. @end defun @defvar buffer-backed-up This buffer-local variable says whether this buffer's file has been backed up on account of this buffer. If it is non-@code{nil}, the backup file has been written. Otherwise, the file should be backed up when it is next saved (if backups are enabled). This is a permanent local; @code{kill-all-local-variables} does not alter@tie{}it. @end defvar @defopt make-backup-files This variable determines whether or not to make backup files. If it is non-@code{nil}, then Emacs creates a backup of each file when it is saved for the first time---provided that @code{backup-inhibited} is @code{nil} (see below). The following example shows how to change the @code{make-backup-files} variable only in the Rmail buffers and not elsewhere. Setting it @code{nil} stops Emacs from making backups of these files, which may save disk space. (You would put this code in your init file.) @smallexample @group (add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook (function (lambda () (make-local-variable 'make-backup-files) (setq make-backup-files nil)))) @end group @end smallexample @end defopt @defvar backup-enable-predicate This variable's value is a function to be called on certain occasions to decide whether a file should have backup files. The function receives one argument, an absolute file name to consider. If the function returns @code{nil}, backups are disabled for that file. Otherwise, the other variables in this section say whether and how to make backups. @findex normal-backup-enable-predicate The default value is @code{normal-backup-enable-predicate}, which checks for files in @code{temporary-file-directory} and @code{small-temporary-file-directory}. @end defvar @defvar backup-inhibited If this variable is non-@code{nil}, backups are inhibited. It records the result of testing @code{backup-enable-predicate} on the visited file name. It can also coherently be used by other mechanisms that inhibit backups based on which file is visited. For example, VC sets this variable non-@code{nil} to prevent making backups for files managed with a version control system. This is a permanent local, so that changing the major mode does not lose its value. Major modes should not set this variable---they should set @code{make-backup-files} instead. @end defvar @defopt backup-directory-alist This variable's value is an alist of filename patterns and backup directory names. Each element looks like @smallexample (@var{regexp} . @var{directory}) @end smallexample @noindent Backups of files with names matching @var{regexp} will be made in @var{directory}. @var{directory} may be relative or absolute. If it is absolute, so that all matching files are backed up into the same directory, the file names in this directory will be the full name of the file backed up with all directory separators changed to @samp{!} to prevent clashes. This will not work correctly if your filesystem truncates the resulting name. For the common case of all backups going into one directory, the alist should contain a single element pairing @samp{"."} with the appropriate directory name. If this variable is @code{nil}, or it fails to match a filename, the backup is made in the original file's directory. On MS-DOS filesystems without long names this variable is always ignored. @end defopt @defopt make-backup-file-name-function This variable's value is a function to use for making backups instead of the default @code{make-backup-file-name}. A value of @code{nil} gives the default @code{make-backup-file-name} behavior. @xref{Backup Names,, Naming Backup Files}. This could be buffer-local to do something special for specific files. If you define it, you may need to change @code{backup-file-name-p} and @code{file-name-sans-versions} too. @end defopt @node Rename or Copy @subsection Backup by Renaming or by Copying? @cindex backup files, rename or copy There are two ways that Emacs can make a backup file: @itemize @bullet @item Emacs can rename the original file so that it becomes a backup file, and then write the buffer being saved into a new file. After this procedure, any other names (i.e., hard links) of the original file now refer to the backup file. The new file is owned by the user doing the editing, and its group is the default for new files written by the user in that directory. @item Emacs can copy the original file into a backup file, and then overwrite the original file with new contents. After this procedure, any other names (i.e., hard links) of the original file continue to refer to the current (updated) version of the file. The file's owner and group will be unchanged. @end itemize The first method, renaming, is the default. The variable @code{backup-by-copying}, if non-@code{nil}, says to use the second method, which is to copy the original file and overwrite it with the new buffer contents. The variable @code{file-precious-flag}, if non-@code{nil}, also has this effect (as a sideline of its main significance). @xref{Saving Buffers}. @defopt backup-by-copying If this variable is non-@code{nil}, Emacs always makes backup files by copying. @end defopt The following three variables, when non-@code{nil}, cause the second method to be used in certain special cases. They have no effect on the treatment of files that don't fall into the special cases. @defopt backup-by-copying-when-linked If this variable is non-@code{nil}, Emacs makes backups by copying for files with multiple names (hard links). This variable is significant only if @code{backup-by-copying} is @code{nil}, since copying is always used when that variable is non-@code{nil}. @end defopt @defopt backup-by-copying-when-mismatch If this variable is non-@code{nil}, Emacs makes backups by copying in cases where renaming would change either the owner or the group of the file. The value has no effect when renaming would not alter the owner or group of the file; that is, for files which are owned by the user and whose group matches the default for a new file created there by the user. This variable is significant only if @code{backup-by-copying} is @code{nil}, since copying is always used when that variable is non-@code{nil}. @end defopt @defopt backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch This variable, if non-@code{nil}, specifies the same behavior as @code{backup-by-copying-when-mismatch}, but only for certain user-id values: namely, those less than or equal to a certain number. You set this variable to that number. Thus, if you set @code{backup-by-copying-when-privileged-mismatch} to 0, backup by copying is done for the superuser only, when necessary to prevent a change in the owner of the file. The default is 200. @end defopt @node Numbered Backups @subsection Making and Deleting Numbered Backup Files If a file's name is @file{foo}, the names of its numbered backup versions are @file{foo.~@var{v}~}, for various integers @var{v}, like this: @file{foo.~1~}, @file{foo.~2~}, @file{foo.~3~}, @dots{}, @file{foo.~259~}, and so on. @defopt version-control This variable controls whether to make a single non-numbered backup file or multiple numbered backups. @table @asis @item @code{nil} Make numbered backups if the visited file already has numbered backups; otherwise, do not. This is the default. @item @code{never} Do not make numbered backups. @item @var{anything else} Make numbered backups. @end table @end defopt The use of numbered backups ultimately leads to a large number of backup versions, which must then be deleted. Emacs can do this automatically or it can ask the user whether to delete them. @defopt kept-new-versions The value of this variable is the number of newest versions to keep when a new numbered backup is made. The newly made backup is included in the count. The default value is@tie{}2. @end defopt @defopt kept-old-versions The value of this variable is the number of oldest versions to keep when a new numbered backup is made. The default value is@tie{}2. @end defopt If there are backups numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, and both of these variables have the value 2, then the backups numbered 1 and 2 are kept as old versions and those numbered 5 and 7 are kept as new versions; backup version 3 is excess. The function @code{find-backup-file-name} (@pxref{Backup Names}) is responsible for determining which backup versions to delete, but does not delete them itself. @defopt delete-old-versions If this variable is @code{t}, then saving a file deletes excess backup versions silently. If it is @code{nil}, that means to ask for confirmation before deleting excess backups. Otherwise, they are not deleted at all. @end defopt @defopt dired-kept-versions This variable specifies how many of the newest backup versions to keep in the Dired command @kbd{.} (@code{dired-clean-directory}). That's the same thing @code{kept-new-versions} specifies when you make a new backup file. The default is@tie{}2. @end defopt @node Backup Names @subsection Naming Backup Files The functions in this section are documented mainly because you can customize the naming conventions for backup files by redefining them. If you change one, you probably need to change the rest. @defun backup-file-name-p filename This function returns a non-@code{nil} value if @var{filename} is a possible name for a backup file. It just checks the name, not whether a file with the name @var{filename} exists. @smallexample @group (backup-file-name-p "foo") @result{} nil @end group @group (backup-file-name-p "foo~") @result{} 3 @end group @end smallexample The standard definition of this function is as follows: @smallexample @group (defun backup-file-name-p (file) "Return non-nil if FILE is a backup file \ name (numeric or not)..." (string-match "~\\'" file)) @end group @end smallexample @noindent Thus, the function returns a non-@code{nil} value if the file name ends with a @samp{~}. (We use a backslash to split the documentation string's first line into two lines in the text, but produce just one line in the string itself.) This simple expression is placed in a separate function to make it easy to redefine for customization. @end defun @defun make-backup-file-name filename This function returns a string that is the name to use for a non-numbered backup file for file @var{filename}. On Unix, this is just @var{filename} with a tilde appended. The standard definition of this function, on most operating systems, is as follows: @smallexample @group (defun make-backup-file-name (file) "Create the non-numeric backup file name for FILE..." (concat file "~")) @end group @end smallexample You can change the backup-file naming convention by redefining this function. The following example redefines @code{make-backup-file-name} to prepend a @samp{.} in addition to appending a tilde: @smallexample @group (defun make-backup-file-name (filename) (expand-file-name (concat "." (file-name-nondirectory filename) "~") (file-name-directory filename))) @end group @group (make-backup-file-name "backups.texi") @result{} ".backups.texi~" @end group @end smallexample Some parts of Emacs, including some Dired commands, assume that backup file names end with @samp{~}. If you do not follow that convention, it will not cause serious problems, but these commands may give less-than-desirable results. @end defun @defun find-backup-file-name filename This function computes the file name for a new backup file for @var{filename}. It may also propose certain existing backup files for deletion. @code{find-backup-file-name} returns a list whose @sc{car} is the name for the new backup file and whose @sc{cdr} is a list of backup files whose deletion is proposed. The value can also be @code{nil}, which means not to make a backup. Two variables, @code{kept-old-versions} and @code{kept-new-versions}, determine which backup versions should be kept. This function keeps those versions by excluding them from the @sc{cdr} of the value. @xref{Numbered Backups}. In this example, the value says that @file{~rms/foo.~5~} is the name to use for the new backup file, and @file{~rms/foo.~3~} is an ``excess'' version that the caller should consider deleting now. @smallexample @group (find-backup-file-name "~rms/foo") @result{} ("~rms/foo.~5~" "~rms/foo.~3~") @end group @end smallexample @end defun @c Emacs 19 feature @defun file-newest-backup filename This function returns the name of the most recent backup file for @var{filename}, or @code{nil} if that file has no backup files. Some file comparison commands use this function so that they can automatically compare a file with its most recent backup. @end defun @node Auto-Saving @section Auto-Saving @c @cindex auto-saving Lots of symbols starting with auto-save here. Emacs periodically saves all files that you are visiting; this is called @dfn{auto-saving}. Auto-saving prevents you from losing more than a limited amount of work if the system crashes. By default, auto-saves happen every 300 keystrokes, or after around 30 seconds of idle time. @xref{Auto Save, Auto Save, Auto-Saving: Protection Against Disasters, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}, for information on auto-save for users. Here we describe the functions used to implement auto-saving and the variables that control them. @defvar buffer-auto-save-file-name This buffer-local variable is the name of the file used for auto-saving the current buffer. It is @code{nil} if the buffer should not be auto-saved. @example @group buffer-auto-save-file-name @result{} "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#backups.texi#" @end group @end example @end defvar @deffn Command auto-save-mode arg When used interactively without an argument, this command is a toggle switch: it turns on auto-saving of the current buffer if it is off, and vice versa. With an argument @var{arg}, the command turns auto-saving on if the value of @var{arg} is @code{t}, a nonempty list, or a positive integer. Otherwise, it turns auto-saving off. @end deffn @defun auto-save-file-name-p filename This function returns a non-@code{nil} value if @var{filename} is a string that could be the name of an auto-save file. It assumes the usual naming convention for auto-save files: a name that begins and ends with hash marks (@samp{#}) is a possible auto-save file name. The argument @var{filename} should not contain a directory part. @example @group (make-auto-save-file-name) @result{} "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#backups.texi#" @end group @group (auto-save-file-name-p "#backups.texi#") @result{} 0 @end group @group (auto-save-file-name-p "backups.texi") @result{} nil @end group @end example The standard definition of this function is as follows: @example @group (defun auto-save-file-name-p (filename) "Return non-nil if FILENAME can be yielded by..." (string-match "^#.*#$" filename)) @end group @end example This function exists so that you can customize it if you wish to change the naming convention for auto-save files. If you redefine it, be sure to redefine the function @code{make-auto-save-file-name} correspondingly. @end defun @defun make-auto-save-file-name This function returns the file name to use for auto-saving the current buffer. This is just the file name with hash marks (@samp{#}) prepended and appended to it. This function does not look at the variable @code{auto-save-visited-file-name} (described below); callers of this function should check that variable first. @example @group (make-auto-save-file-name) @result{} "/xcssun/users/rms/lewis/#backups.texi#" @end group @end example Here is a simplified version of the standard definition of this function: @example @group (defun make-auto-save-file-name () "Return file name to use for auto-saves \ of current buffer.." (if buffer-file-name @end group @group (concat (file-name-directory buffer-file-name) "#" (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name) "#") (expand-file-name (concat "#%" (buffer-name) "#")))) @end group @end example This exists as a separate function so that you can redefine it to customize the naming convention for auto-save files. Be sure to change @code{auto-save-file-name-p} in a corresponding way. @end defun @defopt auto-save-visited-file-name If this variable is non-@code{nil}, Emacs auto-saves buffers in the files they are visiting. That is, the auto-save is done in the same file that you are editing. Normally, this variable is @code{nil}, so auto-save files have distinct names that are created by @code{make-auto-save-file-name}. When you change the value of this variable, the new value does not take effect in an existing buffer until the next time auto-save mode is reenabled in it. If auto-save mode is already enabled, auto-saves continue to go in the same file name until @code{auto-save-mode} is called again. @end defopt @defun recent-auto-save-p This function returns @code{t} if the current buffer has been auto-saved since the last time it was read in or saved. @end defun @defun set-buffer-auto-saved This function marks the current buffer as auto-saved. The buffer will not be auto-saved again until the buffer text is changed again. The function returns @code{nil}. @end defun @defopt auto-save-interval The value of this variable specifies how often to do auto-saving, in terms of number of input events. Each time this many additional input events are read, Emacs does auto-saving for all buffers in which that is enabled. Setting this to zero disables autosaving based on the number of characters typed. @end defopt @defopt auto-save-timeout The value of this variable is the number of seconds of idle time that should cause auto-saving. Each time the user pauses for this long, Emacs does auto-saving for all buffers in which that is enabled. (If the current buffer is large, the specified timeout is multiplied by a factor that increases as the size increases; for a million-byte buffer, the factor is almost 4.) If the value is zero or @code{nil}, then auto-saving is not done as a result of idleness, only after a certain number of input events as specified by @code{auto-save-interval}. @end defopt @defvar auto-save-hook This normal hook is run whenever an auto-save is about to happen. @end defvar @defopt auto-save-default If this variable is non-@code{nil}, buffers that are visiting files have auto-saving enabled by default. Otherwise, they do not. @end defopt @deffn Command do-auto-save &optional no-message current-only This function auto-saves all buffers that need to be auto-saved. It saves all buffers for which auto-saving is enabled and that have been changed since the previous auto-save. If any buffers are auto-saved, @code{do-auto-save} normally displays a message saying @samp{Auto-saving...} in the echo area while auto-saving is going on. However, if @var{no-message} is non-@code{nil}, the message is inhibited. If @var{current-only} is non-@code{nil}, only the current buffer is auto-saved. @end deffn @defun delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary &optional force This function deletes the current buffer's auto-save file if @code{delete-auto-save-files} is non-@code{nil}. It is called every time a buffer is saved. Unless @var{force} is non-@code{nil}, this function only deletes the file if it was written by the current Emacs session since the last true save. @end defun @defopt delete-auto-save-files This variable is used by the function @code{delete-auto-save-file-if-necessary}. If it is non-@code{nil}, Emacs deletes auto-save files when a true save is done (in the visited file). This saves disk space and unclutters your directory. @end defopt @defun rename-auto-save-file This function adjusts the current buffer's auto-save file name if the visited file name has changed. It also renames an existing auto-save file, if it was made in the current Emacs session. If the visited file name has not changed, this function does nothing. @end defun @defvar buffer-saved-size The value of this buffer-local variable is the length of the current buffer, when it was last read in, saved, or auto-saved. This is used to detect a substantial decrease in size, and turn off auto-saving in response. If it is @minus{}1, that means auto-saving is temporarily shut off in this buffer due to a substantial decrease in size. Explicitly saving the buffer stores a positive value in this variable, thus reenabling auto-saving. Turning auto-save mode off or on also updates this variable, so that the substantial decrease in size is forgotten. If it is @minus{}2, that means this buffer should disregard changes in buffer size; in particular, it should not shut off auto-saving temporarily due to changes in buffer size. @end defvar @defvar auto-save-list-file-name This variable (if non-@code{nil}) specifies a file for recording the names of all the auto-save files. Each time Emacs does auto-saving, it writes two lines into this file for each buffer that has auto-saving enabled. The first line gives the name of the visited file (it's empty if the buffer has none), and the second gives the name of the auto-save file. When Emacs exits normally, it deletes this file; if Emacs crashes, you can look in the file to find all the auto-save files that might contain work that was otherwise lost. The @code{recover-session} command uses this file to find them. The default name for this file specifies your home directory and starts with @samp{.saves-}. It also contains the Emacs process @acronym{ID} and the host name. @end defvar @defopt auto-save-list-file-prefix After Emacs reads your init file, it initializes @code{auto-save-list-file-name} (if you have not already set it non-@code{nil}) based on this prefix, adding the host name and process ID. If you set this to @code{nil} in your init file, then Emacs does not initialize @code{auto-save-list-file-name}. @end defopt @node Reverting @section Reverting If you have made extensive changes to a file and then change your mind about them, you can get rid of them by reading in the previous version of the file with the @code{revert-buffer} command. @xref{Reverting, , Reverting a Buffer, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}. @deffn Command revert-buffer &optional ignore-auto noconfirm preserve-modes This command replaces the buffer text with the text of the visited file on disk. This action undoes all changes since the file was visited or saved. By default, if the latest auto-save file is more recent than the visited file, and the argument @var{ignore-auto} is @code{nil}, @code{revert-buffer} asks the user whether to use that auto-save instead. When you invoke this command interactively, @var{ignore-auto} is @code{t} if there is no numeric prefix argument; thus, the interactive default is not to check the auto-save file. Normally, @code{revert-buffer} asks for confirmation before it changes the buffer; but if the argument @var{noconfirm} is non-@code{nil}, @code{revert-buffer} does not ask for confirmation. Normally, this command reinitializes the buffer's major and minor modes using @code{normal-mode}. But if @var{preserve-modes} is non-@code{nil}, the modes remain unchanged. Reverting tries to preserve marker positions in the buffer by using the replacement feature of @code{insert-file-contents}. If the buffer contents and the file contents are identical before the revert operation, reverting preserves all the markers. If they are not identical, reverting does change the buffer; in that case, it preserves the markers in the unchanged text (if any) at the beginning and end of the buffer. Preserving any additional markers would be problematical. @end deffn You can customize how @code{revert-buffer} does its work by setting the variables described in the rest of this section. @defopt revert-without-query This variable holds a list of files that should be reverted without query. The value is a list of regular expressions. If the visited file name matches one of these regular expressions, and the file has changed on disk but the buffer is not modified, then @code{revert-buffer} reverts the file without asking the user for confirmation. @end defopt Some major modes customize @code{revert-buffer} by making buffer-local bindings for these variables: @defvar revert-buffer-function @anchor{Definition of revert-buffer-function} The value of this variable is the function to use to revert this buffer. If non-@code{nil}, it should be a function with two optional arguments to do the work of reverting. The two optional arguments, @var{ignore-auto} and @var{noconfirm}, are the arguments that @code{revert-buffer} received. If the value is @code{nil}, reverting works the usual way. Modes such as Dired mode, in which the text being edited does not consist of a file's contents but can be regenerated in some other fashion, can give this variable a buffer-local value that is a function to regenerate the contents. @end defvar @defvar revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-function The value of this variable, if non-@code{nil}, specifies the function to use to insert the updated contents when reverting this buffer. The function receives two arguments: first the file name to use; second, @code{t} if the user has asked to read the auto-save file. The reason for a mode to set this variable instead of @code{revert-buffer-function} is to avoid duplicating or replacing the rest of what @code{revert-buffer} does: asking for confirmation, clearing the undo list, deciding the proper major mode, and running the hooks listed below. @end defvar @defvar before-revert-hook This normal hook is run by @code{revert-buffer} before inserting the modified contents---but only if @code{revert-buffer-function} is @code{nil}. @end defvar @defvar after-revert-hook This normal hook is run by @code{revert-buffer} after inserting the modified contents---but only if @code{revert-buffer-function} is @code{nil}. @end defvar @ignore arch-tag: 295a6321-e5ab-46d5-aef5-0bb4f447a67f @end ignore
