@cindex object internals
We describe them here, naming them by the names used in the C code.
Many are accessible indirectly in Lisp programs via Lisp primitives.
+Two structures are used to represent buffers in C. The
+@code{buffer_text} structure contains fields describing the text of a
+buffer; the @code{buffer} structure holds other fields. In the case
+of indirect buffers, two or more @code{buffer} structures reference
+the same @code{buffer_text} structure.
+
+Here is a list of the @code{struct buffer_text} fields:
+
@table @code
-@item name
-The buffer name is a string that names the buffer. It is guaranteed to
-be unique. @xref{Buffer Names}.

+text.

+Holds the number of characters at the end of the text that are known to
+be unchanged since the last redisplay that finished.
+
+@item unchanged_modified
+Contains the value of @code{modiff} at the time of the last redisplay
+that finished. If this value matches @code{modiff},
+@code{beg_unchanged} and @code{end_unchanged} contain no useful
+information.
+
+@item overlay_unchanged_modified
+Contains the value of @code{overlay_modiff} at the time of the last
+redisplay that finished. If this value matches @code{overlay_modiff},

@item mini_p
Non-@code{nil} if this window is a minibuffer window.
+@item parent
+Internally, Emacs arranges windows in a tree; each group of siblings has

+to a window's parent.
+
+Parent windows do not display buffers, and play little role in display
+except to shape their child windows. Emacs Lisp programs usually have
+no access to the parent windows; they operate on the windows at the
+leaves of the tree, which actually display buffers.

the life of the window.
-@item dedicated

If this flag is non-@code{nil}, it says that the window has been
scrolled explicitly by the Lisp program. This affects what the next

-@item prev
-This is the window that is the previous in the chain of siblings. It is
-@code{nil} in a window that is the leftmost or topmost of a group of
-siblings.
+@item window_end_pos
+This is computed as @code{z} minus the buffer position of the last glyph
+in the current matrix of the window. The value is only valid if
+@code{window_end_valid} is not @code{nil}.
-@item parent
-Internally, Emacs arranges windows in a tree; each group of siblings has
-a parent window whose area includes all the siblings. This field points
-to a window's parent.
+@item window_end_bytepos
+The byte position corresponding to @code{window_end_pos}.
-Parent windows do not display buffers, and play little role in display
-except to shape their child windows. Emacs Lisp programs usually have
-no access to the parent windows; they operate on the windows at the
-leaves of the tree, which actually display buffers.
+@item window_end_vpos
+The window-relative vertical position of the line containing
+@code{window_end_pos}.
+
+@item window_end_valid
+This field is set to a non-@code{nil} value if @code{window_end_pos} is truly
+valid. This is @code{nil} if nontrivial redisplay is preempted since in that
+case the display that @code{window_end_pos} was computed for did not get
+onto the screen.
+
+@item redisplay_end_trigger
+If redisplay in this window goes beyond this buffer position, it runs
+run the @code{redisplay-end-trigger-hook}.
+
+@ignore
+@item orig_height
+@item orig_top
+??? Are temporary storage areas.
+@end ignore
+
+@item cursor
+A structure describing where the cursor is in this window.
+
+@item last_cursor
+The value of @code{cursor} as of the last redisplay that finished.
+
+@item phys_cursor
+A structure describing where the cursor of this window physically is.
+
+@item phys_cursor_type
+The type of cursor that was last displayed on this window.
+
+@item phys_cursor_on_p
+This field is non-zero if the cursor is physically on.
+
+@item cursor_off_p
+Non-zero means the cursor in this window is logically on.
+
+@item last_cursor_off_p
+This field contains the value of @code{cursor_off_p} as of the time of
+the last redisplay.
+
+@item must_be_updated_p
+This is set to 1 during redisplay when this window must be updated.
@item hscroll
This is the number of columns that the display in the window is scrolled
horizontally to the left. Normally, this is 0.
-@item use_time
-This is the last time that the window was selected. The function
-@code{get-lru-window} uses this field.
+@item vscroll
+Vertical scroll amount, in pixels. Normally, this is 0.
+
+@item dedicated
+Non-@code{nil} if this window is dedicated to its buffer.
@item display_table
The window's display table, or @code{nil} if none is specified for it.
If the region (or part of it) is highlighted in this window, this field
holds the mark position that made one end of that region. Otherwise,
this field is @code{nil}.
+
+@item column_number_displayed
+The column number currently displayed in this window's mode line, or @code{nil}
+if column numbers are not being displayed.
+
+@item current_matrix
+A glyph matrix describing the current display of this window.
+
+@item desired_matrix
+A glyph matrix describing the desired display of this window.

@node Process Internals
@item tty_name
The name of the terminal that the subprocess is using,
or @code{nil} if it is using pipes.
+
+@item decode_coding_system
+Coding-system for decoding the input from this process.
+
+@item decoding_buf
+A working buffer for decoding.
+
+@item decoding_carryover
+Size of carryover in decoding.
+
+@item encode_coding_system
+Coding-system for encoding the output to this process.
+
+@item encoding_buf
+A working buffer for enecoding.
+
+@item encoding_carryover
+Size of carryover in encoding.
+
+@item inherit_coding_system_flag
+Flag to set @code{coding-system} of the process buffer from the
+coding system used to decode process output.
