GNU Info (emacs-lisp-intro.info)mark-whole-buffer overviewAn overview of `mark-whole-buffer' ---------------------------------- In GNU Emacs 20, the code for the complete function looks like this: (defun mark-whole-buffer () "Put point at beginning and mark at end of buffer." (interactive) (push-mark (point)) (push-mark (point-max)) (goto-char (point-min))) Like all other functions, the `mark-whole-buffer' function fits into the template for a function definition. The template looks like this: (defun NAME-OF-FUNCTION (ARGUMENT-LIST) "DOCUMENTATION..." (INTERACTIVE-EXPRESSION...) BODY...) Here is how the function works: the name of the function is `mark-whole-buffer'; it is followed by an empty argument list, `()', which means that the function does not require arguments. The documentation comes next. The next line is an `(interactive)' expression that tells Emacs that the function will be used interactively. These details are similar to the `simplified-beginning-of-buffer' function described in the previous section. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
