27;;; Commentary:
28
29;; Introduction:
30;;
31;; Whenever a file that Emacs is editing has been changed by another
48764ae2 32;; program the user normally has to execute the command `revert-buffer'
4a35aff3
RS
33;; to load the new content of the file into Emacs.
34;;
35;; This package contains two minor modes: Global Auto-Revert Mode and
48764ae2 36;; Auto-Revert Mode. Both modes automatically revert buffers
4a35aff3
RS
37;; whenever the corresponding files have been changed on disk.
38;;
39;; Auto-Revert Mode can be activated for individual buffers.
40;; Global Auto-Revert Mode applies to all file buffers.
41;;
48764ae2
DL
42;; Both modes operate by checking the time stamp of all files at
43;; intervals of `auto-revert-interval'. The default is every five
44;; seconds. The check is aborted whenever the user actually uses
45;; Emacs. You should never even notice that this package is active
46;; (except that your buffers will be reverted, of course).
4a35aff3
RS
47
48;; Usage:
49;;
50;; Go to the appropriate buffer and press:
51;; M-x auto-revert-mode RET
52;;
53;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode, press:
54;; M-x global-auto-revert-mode RET
55;;
48764ae2
DL
56;; To activate Global Auto-Revert Mode every time Emacs is started
57;; customise the option `global-auto-revert-mode' or the following
58;; line could be added to your ~/.emacs:
4a35aff3
RS
59;; (global-auto-revert-mode 1)
60;;
61;; The function `turn-on-auto-revert-mode' could be added to any major
62;; mode hook to activate Auto-Revert Mode for all buffers in that
63;; mode. For example, the following line will activate Auto-Revert
64;; Mode in all C mode buffers:
65;;
66;; (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-revert-mode)
