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) | |
