Today's CVS snapshot, Fri, 2003 May 2 12:11 UTC
The name is `update-autoloads-from-directories' not
`update-directory-autoloads'
The emacs/lispref/loading.texi file says:
@kbd{M-x update-directory-autoloads} is even more powerful; it updates
autoloads for all files in the current directory.
but the name of the command is:
update-autoloads-from-directories
(To see this in Info, see (elisp)Autoload )
Its function definition is in emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/autoload.el
Moreover, the documumention for the
`update-autoloads-from-directories' command is somewhat misleading.
It says:
Update loaddefs.el with all the current autoloads from DIRS, and no old ones.
This uses `update-file-autoloads' (which see) do its work.
As far as I can see, it would be useful to add:
When called interactively, DIRS must be the name of a single
directory; when evaluated as an expression, DIRS may be the names
of several directories, each a string.
The function does NOT recursively descend into directories below
the directory named.
Because autoloading is so important, I don't want to make any change
myself, lest I break Emacs.
It looks to me that the command name in emacs/lispref/loading.texi
should be changed. However, I am not so sure whether the
documumention for the function definition needs to be changed or
whether my experiments, which led to those comments, are any good.
