address@hidden documentation strings
-
- GNU Emacs Lisp has convenient on-line help facilities, most of which
-derive their information from the documentation strings associated with
-functions and variables. This chapter describes how to write good
-documentation strings for your Lisp programs, as well as how to write
-programs to access documentation.
-
- Note that the documentation strings for Emacs are not the same thing
-as the Emacs manual. Manuals have their own source files, written in
-the Texinfo language; documentation strings are specified in the
-definitions of the functions and variables they apply to. A collection
-of documentation strings is not sufficient as a manual because a good
-manual is not organized in that fashion; it is organized in terms of
-topics of discussion.
-
- For commands to display documentation strings, see @ref{Help, ,
-Help, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}. For the conventions for writing
-documentation strings, see @ref{Documentation Tips}.

address@hidden writing a documentation string
address@hidden string, writing a doc string
-
- A documentation string is written using the Lisp syntax for strings,
-with double-quote characters surrounding the text of the string. This
-is because it really is a Lisp string object. The string serves as
-documentation when it is written in the proper place in the definition
-of a function or variable. In a function definition, the documentation
-string follows the argument list. In a variable definition, the
-documentation string follows the initial value of the variable.
-
- When you write a documentation string, make the first line a
-complete sentence (or two complete sentences) since some commands,
-such as @code{apropos}, show only the first line of a multi-line
-documentation string. Also, you should not indent the second line of
-a documentation string, if it has one, because that looks odd when you
-use @kbd{C-h f} (@code{describe-function}) or @kbd{C-h v}
-(@code{describe-variable}) to view the documentation string. There
-are many other conventions for doc strings; see @ref{Documentation
-Tips}.
-
- Documentation strings can contain several special substrings, which
-stand for key bindings to be looked up in the current keymaps when the
-documentation is displayed. This allows documentation strings to refer
-to the keys for related commands and be accurate even when a user
-rearranges the key bindings. (@xref{Keys in Documentation}.)
-
address@hidden emacs-lisp-docstring-fill-column
- Emacs Lisp mode fills documentation strings to the width
-specified by @code{emacs-lisp-docstring-fill-column}.
-
- In Emacs Lisp, a documentation string is accessible through the
-function or variable that it describes:
-
address@hidden @bullet
address@hidden
address@hidden function-documentation
-The documentation for a function is usually stored in the function
-definition itself (@pxref{Lambda Expressions}). The function
address@hidden knows how to extract it. You can also put
-function documentation in the @code{function-documentation} property
-of the function name. That is useful with definitions such as
-keyboard macros that can't hold a documentation string.
-
address@hidden
address@hidden variable-documentation
-The documentation for a variable is stored in the variable's property
-list under the property name @code{variable-documentation}. The
-function @code{documentation-property} knows how to retrieve it.
address@hidden itemize
-
address@hidden @address@hidden (documentation) file
-To save space, the documentation for preloaded functions and variables
-(including primitive functions and autoloaded functions) is stored in
-the file @file{emacs/etc/address@hidden inside Emacs. The
-documentation strings for functions and variables loaded during the
-Emacs session from byte-compiled files are stored in those files
-(@pxref{Docs and Compilation}).
-
-The data structure inside Emacs has an integer offset into the file, or
-a list containing a file name and an integer, in place of the
-documentation string. The functions @code{documentation} and
address@hidden use that information to fetch the
-documentation string from the appropriate file; this is transparent to
-the user.
-
address@hidden Wordy to prevent overfull hbox. --rjc 15mar92
- The @file{emacs/lib-src} directory contains two utilities that you can
-use to print nice-looking hardcopy for the file
address@hidden/etc/address@hidden These are @file{sorted-doc} and
address@hidden
-
address@hidden Accessing Documentation
address@hidden Access to Documentation Strings
-
address@hidden documentation-property symbol property &optional verbatim
-This function returns the documentation string that is recorded in
address@hidden's property list under property @var{property}. It
-retrieves the text from a file if the value calls for that. If the
-property value isn't @code{nil}, isn't a string, and doesn't refer to
-text in a file, then it is evaluated to obtain a string.
-
-The last thing this function does is pass the string through
address@hidden to substitute actual key bindings,
-unless @var{verbatim} is address@hidden
-

-
address@hidden documentation function &optional verbatim
-This function returns the documentation string of @var{function}.
address@hidden handles macros, named keyboard macros, and
-special forms, as well as ordinary functions.
-
-If @var{function} is a symbol, this function first looks for the
address@hidden property of that symbol; if that has a
address@hidden value, the documentation comes from that value (if the
-value is not a string, it is evaluated). If @var{function} is not a
-symbol, or if it has no @code{function-documentation} property, then
address@hidden extracts the documentation string from the actual
-function definition, reading it from a file if called for.
-
-Finally, unless @var{verbatim} is address@hidden, it calls
address@hidden so as to return a value containing the
-actual (current) key bindings.
-
-The function @code{documentation} signals a @code{void-function} error
-if @var{function} has no function definition. However, it is OK if
-the function definition has no documentation string. In that case,
address@hidden returns @code{nil}.
address@hidden defun

address@hidden face-documentation face
-This function returns the documentation string of @var{face} as a
-face.

address@hidden Snarf-documentation filename
address@hidden of Snarf-documentation}
-This function is used only during Emacs initialization, just before
-the runnable Emacs is dumped. It finds the file offsets of the
-documentation strings stored in the file @var{filename}, and records
-them in the in-core function definitions and variable property lists in
-place of the actual strings. @xref{Building Emacs}.
-
-Emacs reads the file @var{filename} from the @file{emacs/etc} directory.
-When the dumped Emacs is later executed, the same file will be looked
-for in the directory @code{doc-directory}. Usually @var{filename} is
address@hidden"address@hidden"}.

-In most cases, this is the same as @code{data-directory}. They may be
-different when you run Emacs from the directory where you built it,
-without actually installing it. @xref{Definition of data-directory}.

address@hidden Keys in Documentation
address@hidden Substituting Key Bindings in Documentation
address@hidden documentation, keys in
address@hidden keys in documentation strings
address@hidden substituting keys in documentation
-
- When documentation strings refer to key sequences, they should use the
-current, actual key bindings. They can do so using certain special text
-sequences described below. Accessing documentation strings in the usual
-way substitutes current key binding information for these special
-sequences. This works by calling @code{substitute-command-keys}. You
-can also call that function yourself.
-
- Here is a list of the special sequences and what they mean:
-
address@hidden @code
address@hidden address@hidden
-stands for a key sequence that will invoke @var{command}, or @samp{M-x
address@hidden if @var{command} has no key bindings.
-
address@hidden address@hidden@address@hidden
-stands for a summary of the keymap which is the value of the variable
address@hidden The summary is made using @code{describe-bindings}.
-
address@hidden \<@var{mapvar}>
-stands for no text itself. It is used only for a side effect: it
-specifies @var{mapvar}'s value as the keymap for any following
address@hidden@var{command}]} sequences in this documentation string.
-
address@hidden \=
-quotes the following character and is discarded; thus, @samp{\=\[} puts
address@hidden into the output, and @samp{\=\=} puts @samp{\=} into the
-output.
address@hidden table
-
address@hidden note:} Each @samp{\} must be doubled when written in a
-string in Emacs Lisp.
-
address@hidden substitute-command-keys string
-This function scans @var{string} for the above special sequences and
-replaces them by what they stand for, returning the result as a string.
-This permits display of documentation that refers accurately to the
-user's own customized key bindings.
address@hidden defun
-
- Here are examples of the special sequences:

address@hidden Describing Characters
address@hidden Describing Characters for Help Messages
address@hidden describe characters and events
-
- These functions convert events, key sequences, or characters to
-textual descriptions. These descriptions are useful for including
-arbitrary text characters or key sequences in messages, because they
-convert non-printing and whitespace characters to sequences of printing
-characters. The description of a non-whitespace printing character is
-the character itself.
-
address@hidden key-description sequence &optional prefix
address@hidden Emacs event standard notation
-This function returns a string containing the Emacs standard notation
-for the input events in @var{sequence}. If @var{prefix} is
address@hidden, it is a sequence of input events leading up to
address@hidden and is included in the return value. Both arguments
-may be strings, vectors or lists. @xref{Input Events}, for more
-information about valid events.

address@hidden defun
-
address@hidden single-key-description event &optional no-angles
address@hidden event printing
address@hidden character printing
address@hidden control character printing
address@hidden meta character printing
-This function returns a string describing @var{event} in the standard
-Emacs notation for keyboard input. A normal printing character
-appears as itself, but a control character turns into a string
-starting with @samp{C-}, a meta character turns into a string starting
-with @samp{M-}, and space, tab, etc.@: appear as @samp{SPC},
address@hidden, etc. A function key symbol appears inside angle brackets
address@hidden<@dots{}>}. An event that is a list appears as the name of the
-symbol in the @sc{car} of the list, inside angle brackets.
-
-If the optional argument @var{no-angles} is address@hidden, the angle
-brackets around function keys and event symbols are omitted; this is
-for compatibility with old versions of Emacs which didn't use the
-brackets.

address@hidden text-char-description character
-This function returns a string describing @var{character} in the
-standard Emacs notation for characters that appear in text---like
address@hidden, except that control characters are
-represented with a leading caret (which is how control characters in
-Emacs buffers are usually displayed). Another difference is that
address@hidden recognizes the 2**7 bit as the Meta
-character, whereas @code{single-key-description} uses the 2**27 bit
-for Meta.

address@hidden read-kbd-macro string &optional need-vector
-This function is used mainly for operating on keyboard macros, but it
-can also be used as a rough inverse for @code{key-description}. You
-call it with a string containing key descriptions, separated by spaces;
-it returns a string or vector containing the corresponding events.
-(This may or may not be a single valid key sequence, depending on what
-events you use; @pxref{Key Sequences}.) If @var{need-vector} is
address@hidden, the return value is always a vector.

address@hidden Help Functions
address@hidden Help Functions
-
- Emacs provides a variety of on-line help functions, all accessible to
-the user as subcommands of the prefix @kbd{C-h}. For more information
-about them, see @ref{Help, , Help, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}. Here
-we describe some program-level interfaces to the same information.
-
address@hidden Command apropos pattern &optional do-all
-This function finds all ``meaningful'' symbols whose names contain a
-match for the apropos pattern @var{pattern}. An apropos pattern is
-either a word to match, a space-separated list of words of which at
-least two must match, or a regular expression (if any special regular
-expression characters occur). A symbol is ``meaningful'' if it has a
-definition as a function, variable, or face, or has properties.
-
-The function returns a list of elements that look like this:
-
address@hidden
-(@var{symbol} @var{score} @var{fn-doc} @var{var-doc}
- @var{plist-doc} @var{widget-doc} @var{face-doc} @var{group-doc})
address@hidden example
-
-Here, @var{score} is an integer measure of how important the symbol
-seems to be as a match, and the remaining elements are documentation
-strings for @var{symbol}'s various roles (or @code{nil}).
-
-It also displays the symbols in a buffer named @samp{*Apropos*}, each
-with a one-line description taken from the beginning of its
-documentation string.
-
address@hidden Emacs 19 feature
-If @var{do-all} is address@hidden, or if the user option
address@hidden is address@hidden, then @code{apropos} also
-shows key bindings for the functions that are found; it also shows
address@hidden interned symbols, not just meaningful ones (and it lists
-them in the return value as well).
address@hidden deffn

address@hidden help-map
-The value of this variable is a local keymap for characters following the
-Help key, @kbd{C-h}.
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden {Prefix Command} help-command
-This symbol is not a function; its function definition cell holds the
-keymap known as @code{help-map}. It is defined in @file{help.el} as
-follows:
-
address@hidden
address@hidden
-(define-key global-map (char-to-string help-char) 'help-command)
-(fset 'help-command help-map)

address@hidden smallexample
address@hidden deffn
-
address@hidden print-help-return-message &optional function
-This function builds a string that explains how to restore the previous
-state of the windows after a help command. After building the message,
-it applies @var{function} to it if @var{function} is address@hidden
-Otherwise it calls @code{message} to display it in the echo area.
-
-This function expects to be called inside a
address@hidden special form, and expects
address@hidden to have the value bound by that special form.
-For an example of its use, see the long example in @ref{Accessing
-Documentation}.
address@hidden defun
-
address@hidden help-char
-The value of this variable is the help character---the character that
-Emacs recognizes as meaning Help. By default, its value is 8, which
-stands for @kbd{C-h}. When Emacs reads this character, if
address@hidden is a address@hidden Lisp expression, it evaluates that
-expression, and displays the result in a window if it is a string.
-
-Usually the value of @code{help-form} is @code{nil}. Then the
-help character has no special meaning at the level of command input, and
-it becomes part of a key sequence in the normal way. The standard key
-binding of @kbd{C-h} is a prefix key for several general-purpose help
-features.
-
-The help character is special after prefix keys, too. If it has no
-binding as a subcommand of the prefix key, it runs
address@hidden, which displays a list of all the
-subcommands of the prefix key.
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden help-event-list
-The value of this variable is a list of event types that serve as
-alternative ``help characters.'' These events are handled just like the
-event specified by @code{help-char}.
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden help-form
-If this variable is address@hidden, its value is a form to evaluate
-whenever the character @code{help-char} is read. If evaluating the form
-produces a string, that string is displayed.
-
-A command that calls @code{read-event} or @code{read-char} probably
-should bind @code{help-form} to a address@hidden expression while it
-does input. (The time when you should not do this is when @kbd{C-h} has
-some other meaning.) Evaluating this expression should result in a
-string that explains what the input is for and how to enter it properly.
-
-Entry to the minibuffer binds this variable to the value of
address@hidden (@pxref{Definition of minibuffer-help-form}).
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden prefix-help-command
-This variable holds a function to print help for a prefix key. The
-function is called when the user types a prefix key followed by the help
-character, and the help character has no binding after that prefix. The
-variable's default value is @code{describe-prefix-bindings}.
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden describe-prefix-bindings
-This function calls @code{describe-bindings} to display a list of all
-the subcommands of the prefix key of the most recent key sequence. The
-prefix described consists of all but the last event of that key
-sequence. (The last event is, presumably, the help character.)
address@hidden defun
-
- The following two functions are meant for modes that want to provide
-help without relinquishing control, such as the ``electric'' modes.
-Their names begin with @samp{Helper} to distinguish them from the
-ordinary help functions.
-
address@hidden Command Helper-describe-bindings
-This command pops up a window displaying a help buffer containing a
-listing of all of the key bindings from both the local and global keymaps.
-It works by calling @code{describe-bindings}.
address@hidden deffn
-
address@hidden Command Helper-help
-This command provides help for the current mode. It prompts the user
-in the minibuffer with the message @samp{Help (Type ? for further
-options)}, and then provides assistance in finding out what the key
-bindings are, and what the mode is intended for. It returns @code{nil}.
-
-This can be customized by changing the map @code{Helper-help-map}.

address@hidden Emacs 19 feature
address@hidden data-directory
address@hidden of data-directory}

-Emacs versions, @code{exec-directory} was used for this.
address@hidden defvar
-
address@hidden Emacs 19 feature
address@hidden make-help-screen fname help-line help-text help-map
-This macro defines a help command named @var{fname} that acts like a
-prefix key that shows a list of the subcommands it offers.
-
-When invoked, @var{fname} displays @var{help-text} in a window, then
-reads and executes a key sequence according to @var{help-map}. The
-string @var{help-text} should describe the bindings available in
address@hidden
-
-The command @var{fname} is defined to handle a few events itself, by
-scrolling the display of @var{help-text}. When @var{fname} reads one of
-those special events, it does the scrolling and then reads another
-event. When it reads an event that is not one of those few, and which
-has a binding in @var{help-map}, it executes that key's binding and
-then returns.
