keep-next-buffer(3)

NAME

keep-next-buffer - Rename a next command buffer

SYNOPSIS

keep-next-buffer

DESCRIPTION

keep-next-buffer renames the current buffer by appending a number to the end of the current buffer name. This ensures that, if the command used to generate the buffer (such as compile(3) and grep(3)) is rerun, the current buffer will not be deleted.

This command is useful when the current buffer is time consuming to generate and another compile or grep is needed before it has been fully processed.

NOTES

The command returns and error if the current buffer is not a 'next' command buffer, leaving the buffer name unchanged.

keep-next-buffer is a macro defined in tools.emf.

SEE ALSO

add-next-line(2), get-next-line(2), compile(3), grep(3).
