41/* This comment supplies the doc string for interactive,
42 for make-docfile to see. We cannot put this in the real DEFUN
43 due to limits in the Unix cpp.

45DEFUN ("interactive", Ffoo, Sfoo, 0, 0, 0,
46 "Specify a way of parsing arguments for interactive use of a function.\n\
47For example, write\n\
48 (defun foo (arg) \"Doc string\" (interactive \"p\") ...use arg...)\n\
49to make ARG be the prefix argument when `foo' is called as a command.\n\
50The \"call\" to `interactive' is actually a declaration rather than a function;\n\
51 it tells `call-interactively' how to read arguments\n\
52 to pass to the function.\n\
53When actually called, `interactive' just returns nil.\n\
54\n\
55The argument of `interactive' is usually a string containing a code letter\n\
56 followed by a prompt. (Some code letters do not use I/O to get\n\
57 the argument and do not need prompts.) To prompt for multiple arguments,\n\
58 give a code letter, its prompt, a newline, and another code letter, etc.\n\
59 Prompts are passed to format, and may use % escapes to print the\n\
60 arguments that have already been read.\n\
61If the argument is not a string, it is evaluated to get a list of\n\
62 arguments to pass to the function.\n\
63Just `(interactive)' means pass no args when calling interactively.\n\
64\nCode letters available are:\n\
65a -- Function name: symbol with a function definition.\n\
66b -- Name of existing buffer.\n\
67B -- Name of buffer, possibly nonexistent.\n\
68c -- Character.\n\
69C -- Command name: symbol with interactive function definition.\n\
70d -- Value of point as number. Does not do I/O.\n\
71D -- Directory name.\n\
bc78232c
JB
72e -- Event that invoked this command (value of `last-nonmenu-event').\n\
73 This skips events without parameters.\n\
74 If used more than once, the Nth 'e' returns the Nth parameterized event.\n\
ec28a64d
MB
75f -- Existing file name.\n\
76F -- Possibly nonexistent file name.\n\
77k -- Key sequence (string).\n\
78m -- Value of mark as number. Does not do I/O.\n\
79n -- Number read using minibuffer.\n\
80N -- Prefix arg converted to number, or if none, do like code `n'.\n\
81p -- Prefix arg converted to number. Does not do I/O.\n\
82P -- Prefix arg in raw form. Does not do I/O.\n\
83r -- Region: point and mark as 2 numeric args, smallest first. Does no I/O.\n\
84s -- Any string.\n\
85S -- Any symbol.\n\
86v -- Variable name: symbol that is user-variable-p.\n\
87x -- Lisp expression read but not evaluated.\n\
88X -- Lisp expression read and evaluated.\n\
89In addition, if the string begins with `*'\n\
90 then an error is signaled if the buffer is read-only.\n\
91 This happens before reading any arguments.\n\
dbc4e1c1
JB
92If the string begins with `@', then Emacs searches the key sequence\n\
93 which invoked the command for its first mouse click (or any other\n\
94 event which specifies a window), and selects that window before\n\
95 reading any arguments. You may use both `@' and `*'; they are\n\
96 processed in the order that they appear." */
