28;;; Commentary:
29
30;; This package allows the entire contents (or as much as possible) of the
31;; minibuffer to be visible at once when typing. As the end of a line is
32;; reached, the minibuffer will resize itself. When the user is done
33;; typing, the minibuffer will return to its original size.
34
35;; In window systems where it is possible to have a frame in which the
36;; minibuffer is the only window, the frame itself can be resized. In FSF
37;; GNU Emacs 19.22 and earlier, the frame may not be properly returned to
38;; its original size after it ceases to be active because
39;; `minibuffer-exit-hook' didn't exist until version 19.23.
40;;
41;; Prior to Emacs 19.26, minibuffer-exit-hook wasn't called after exiting
42;; from the minibuffer by hitting the quit char. That meant that the
43;; frame size restoration function wasn't being called in that case. In
44;; 19.26 or later, minibuffer-exit-hook should be called anyway.
45
46;; Note that the minibuffer and echo area are not the same! They simply
47;; happen to occupy roughly the same place on the frame. Messages put in
48;; the echo area will not cause any resizing by this package.
49
50;; This package is considered a minor mode but it doesn't put anything in
51;; minor-mode-alist because this mode is specific to the minibuffer, which
52;; has no mode line.
53
54;; To use this package, put the following in your .emacs:
55;;
56;; (autoload 'resize-minibuffer-mode "rsz-mini" nil t)
57;;
58;; Invoking the command `resize-minibuffer-mode' will then enable this mode.
59;; Simply loading this file will also enable it.

107 "Enable or disable resize-minibuffer mode.
108A negative prefix argument disables this mode. A positive argument or
109argument of 0 enables it.
110
111When this minor mode is enabled, the minibuffer is dynamically resized to
112contain the entire region of text put in it as you type.
113
114The variable `resize-minibuffer-mode' is set to t or nil depending on
115whether this mode is active or not.
116
117The maximum height to which the minibuffer can grow is controlled by the
118variable `resize-minibuffer-window-max-height'.
119
120The variable `resize-minibuffer-window-exactly' determines whether the
121minibuffer window should ever be shrunk to make it no larger than needed to
122display its contents.
123
124When using a window system, it is possible for a minibuffer to be the sole
125window in a frame. Since that window is already its maximum size, the only
126way to make more text visible at once is to increase the size of the frame.
127The variable `resize-minibuffer-frame' controls whether this should be
128done. The variables `resize-minibuffer-frame-max-height' and
129`resize-minibuffer-frame-exactly' are analogous to their window
130counterparts."
