+@deffn Command toggle-read-only &optional arg
+This command toggles whether the current buffer is read-only.  It is
 intended for interactive use; do not use it in programs.  At any given
 point in a program, you should know whether you want the read-only flag
 on or off; so you can set @code{buffer-read-only} explicitly to the
 proper value, @code{t} or @code{nil}.
+
+If @var{arg} is non-@code{nil}, it should be a raw prefix argument.
+@code{toggle-read-only} sets @code{buffer-read-only} to @code{t} if
+the numeric value of that prefix argument is positive and to
+@code{nil} otherwise.  @xref{Prefix Command Arguments}.
