Use C-h get-buffer RET to get basic documentation.
In the Elisp manual you can look under "Buffers" - "Buffer Names".
If you are using CVS Emacs (next generation of Emacs, not yet released)
you can find this manual by first selecting from the menus "Help - Read
Emacs Manual" and then then choose Emacs Lisp. If you are using current
Emacs (version 21.3) it can happen that it is not installed by default.
