Module Ecaml__.Buffer

Buffers are used to hold the contents of files that are being visited; there may also be buffers that are not visiting files.

include Ecaml.Value.Subtype with type t = Ecaml__.Buffer0.t
type value
type 'a type_
type t = Ecaml__.Buffer0.t

We expose private value for free identity conversions when the value is nested in some covariant type, e.g. (symbols : Symbol.t list :> Value.t list) rather than List.map symbols ~f:Symbol.to_value.

include sig ... end
val sexp_of_t : t ‑> Sexplib.Sexp.t
val of_value_exn : value ‑> t
val to_value : t ‑> value
val eq : t ‑> t ‑> bool

eq t1 t2 = Value.eq (to_value t1) (to_value t2), i.e. eq checks whether the Emacs values underlying t1 and t2 are physically equal. This is different than phys_equal t1 t2, because we don't always wrap eq Emacs values in phys_equal OCaml values. I.e. phys_equal t1 t2 implies eq t1 t2, but not the converse.

val all_live : unit ‑> t list

all_live returns a list of all live buffers. (describe-function 'buffer-list).

val create : name:string ‑> t

create ~name creates a new buffer with name name, adjusting the name if necessary to make the buffer's name unique. (describe-function 'generate-new-buffer).

val find : name:string ‑> t option

find ~name returns the live buffer whose name is name, if any. (describe-function 'get-buffer).

val find_or_create : name:string ‑> t

find ~name returns the live buffer whose name is name, and if there is no such buffer, creates it. (describe-function 'get-buffer-create).

val kill : t ‑> unit

kill t kills t, so that not (is_live t). (describe-function 'kill-buffer).
