This is just a way of protecting ;; yourself from yourself. For example, if you have a shell running a big ;; program and exiting Emacs would abort that program, you may want to lock ;; that buffer, then if you forget about it after a while, you won't ;; accidentally exit Emacs. To unlock the buffer, just goto the buffer and ;; run toggle-emacs-lock again. ;;; Code: (defvar emacs-lock-from-exiting nil "Whether Emacs is locked to prevent exiting. See `check-emacs-lock'.")
