;;; Commentary:

;; This file defines Tabulated List mode, a generic major mode for
;; displaying lists of tabulated data, intended for other major modes
;; to inherit from.  It provides several utility routines, e.g. for
;; pretty-printing lines of tabulated data to fit into the appropriate
;; columns.

;; For usage information, see the documentation of `tabulated-list-mode'.

;; This package originated from Tom Tromey's Package Menu mode,
;; extended and generalized to be used by other modes.

;;; Code:

;; The reason `tabulated-list-format' and other variables are
;; permanent-local is to make it convenient to switch to a different
;; major mode, switch back, and have the original Tabulated List data
;; still valid.  See, for example, ebuff-menu.el.

(defvar-local tabulated-list-format nil
  "The format of the current Tabulated List mode buffer.
This should be a vector of elements (NAME WIDTH SORT . PROPS),
where:
 - NAME is a string describing the column.
   This is the label for the column in the header line.
   Different columns must have non-`equal' names.
 - WIDTH is the width to reserve for the column.
   For the final element, its numerical value is ignored.
 - SORT specifies how to sort entries by this column.
   If nil, this column cannot be used for sorting.
   If t, sort by comparing the string value printed in the column.
   Otherwise, it should be a predicate function suitable for
   `sort', accepting arguments with the same form as the elements
   of `tabulated-list-entries'.
 - PROPS is a plist of additional column properties.
   Currently supported properties are:
   - `:right-align': If non-nil, the column should be right-aligned.
   - `:pad-right': Number of additional padding spaces to the
     right of the column (defaults to 1 if omitted).")

   which is used to keep the cursor on the \"same\" entry when
   rearranging the list.  Comparison is done with `equal'.

 - Each DESC is a column descriptor, one for each column
   specified in `tabulated-list-format'.  A descriptor is either
   a string, which is printed as-is, or a list (LABEL . PROPS),

   button with label LABEL and button properties PROPS.

;;; The mode definition:

(define-derived-mode tabulated-list-mode special-mode "Tabulated"
  "Generic major mode for browsing a list of items.
This mode is usually not used directly; instead, other major
modes are derived from it, using `define-derived-mode'.

In this major mode, the buffer is divided into multiple columns,
which are labeled using the header line.  Each non-empty line
belongs to one \"entry\", and the entries can be sorted according
to their column values.

An inheriting mode should usually do the following in their body:

 - Set `tabulated-list-format', specifying the column format.
 - Set `tabulated-list-revert-hook', if the buffer contents need
   to be specially recomputed prior to `revert-buffer'.
 - Maybe set a `tabulated-list-entries' function (see below).
 - Maybe set `tabulated-list-printer' (see below).
 - Maybe set `tabulated-list-padding'.
 - Call `tabulated-list-init-header' to initialize `header-line-format'
   according to `tabulated-list-format'.

An inheriting mode is usually accompanied by a \"list-FOO\"
command (e.g. `list-packages', `list-processes').  This command
creates or switches to a buffer and enables the major mode in
that buffer.  If `tabulated-list-entries' is not a function, the
command should initialize it to a list of entries for displaying.
Finally, it should call `tabulated-list-print'.

`tabulated-list-print' calls the printer function specified by
`tabulated-list-printer', once for each entry.  The default
printer is `tabulated-list-print-entry', but a mode that keeps
data in an ewoc may instead specify a printer function (e.g., one
that calls `ewoc-enter-last'), with `tabulated-list-print-entry'
as the ewoc pretty-printer."
