GNU Info (gnus)Gnus Utility FunctionsGnus Utility Functions ---------------------- When writing small functions to be run from hooks (and stuff), it's vital to have access to the Gnus internal functions and variables. Below is a list of the most common ones. `gnus-newsgroup-name' This variable holds the name of the current newsgroup. `gnus-find-method-for-group' A function that returns the select method for GROUP. `gnus-group-real-name' Takes a full (prefixed) Gnus group name, and returns the unprefixed name. `gnus-group-prefixed-name' Takes an unprefixed group name and a select method, and returns the full (prefixed) Gnus group name. `gnus-get-info' Returns the group info list for GROUP. `gnus-group-unread' The number of unread articles in GROUP, or `t' if that is unknown. `gnus-active' The active entry for GROUP. `gnus-set-active' Set the active entry for GROUP. `gnus-add-current-to-buffer-list' Adds the current buffer to the list of buffers to be killed on Gnus exit. `gnus-continuum-version' Takes a Gnus version string as a parameter and returns a floating point number. Earlier versions will always get a lower number than later versions. `gnus-group-read-only-p' Says whether GROUP is read-only or not. `gnus-news-group-p' Says whether GROUP came from a news back end. `gnus-ephemeral-group-p' Says whether GROUP is ephemeral or not. `gnus-server-to-method' Returns the select method corresponding to SERVER. `gnus-server-equal' Says whether two virtual servers are equal. `gnus-group-native-p' Says whether GROUP is native or not. `gnus-group-secondary-p' Says whether GROUP is secondary or not. `gnus-group-foreign-p' Says whether GROUP is foreign or not. `group-group-find-parameter' Returns the parameter list of GROUP. If given a second parameter, returns the value of that parameter for GROUP. `gnus-group-set-parameter' Takes three parameters; GROUP, PARAMETER and VALUE. `gnus-narrow-to-body' Narrows the current buffer to the body of the article. `gnus-check-backend-function' Takes two parameters, FUNCTION and GROUP. If the back end GROUP comes from supports FUNCTION, return non-`nil'. (gnus-check-backend-function "request-scan" "nnml:misc") => t `gnus-read-method' Prompts the user for a select method. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
