26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; Emacs's standard method for making buffer names unique adds <2>, <3>,
29;; etc. to the end of (all but one of) the buffers. This file replaces
30;; that behavior, for buffers visiting files and dired buffers, with a
5246db4e 31;; uniquification that adds parts of the file name until the buffer names
4c61f92c
KH
32;; are unique. For instance, buffers visiting /u/mernst/tmp/Makefile and
33;; /usr/projects/zaphod/Makefile would be named Makefile|tmp and
34;; Makefile|zaphod, respectively (instead of Makefile and Makefile<2>).
35;; Other buffer name styles are also available.
36
4219b27b
RS
37;; To use this file, do (require 'uniquify)
38;; and set uniquify-buffer-name-style to one of its non-nil alternative values.
39
4c61f92c

40;; For other options, see "User-visible variables", below.

42;; A version of uniquify.el that works under Emacs 18, Emacs 19, XEmacs,
43;; and InfoDock is available from the maintainer.

45;; Doesn't correctly handle buffer names created by M-x write-file in Emacs 18.
46;; Doesn't work under NT when backslash is used as a path separator (forward
47;; slash path separator works fine). To fix, check system-type against
48;; 'windows-nt, write a routine that breaks paths down into components.
49;; (Surprisingly, there isn't one built in.)
