Bookmarks at EO Buffer?

Bookmarks at EO Buffer?

Is there any way to place a bookmark at the End Of Buffer?

A quick look through the code didn't reveal anything to me.
The context strings in the bookmark database offer some flexibility, but a bookmark still seems tied to a numeric value.

Thanks.

Not sure I understand the question.  If you put point at the end of a file (file
or buffer, if using Bookmark+) and hit `C-x r m' then the bookmark will be at
that eob position.

But perhaps you mean that you want the bookmark to go to the end of the
file/buffer later, regardless of whether that current eob position is the same
position that was bookmarked?

In that case, you can do any of the following:

* Define your own bookmark handler to do that.  IOW, define a new bookmark type.

* (Bookmark+) Use a function bookmark, where the function does two things: (a)
visit the file/buffer and then (b) (goto-char (point-max)).

* (Bookmark+) Create an ordinary bookmark to the file/buffer, and create a
function bookmark where the function is just (lambda () (goto-char
(point-max))), and combine the two using a sequence bookmark.

The 1st and 3rd approaches are the most general.  The 3rd approach lets you
reuse your function bookmark, combining it with any other bookmark that visits a
file or buffer.  (The 2nd & 3rd approaches require Bookmark+.)
