Subject: bug#7758: 24.0.50; doc string and args of `dired-revert'
Date: Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:10:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C083E1AA7374145BE4DE04F8E028E11@us.oracle.com> (raw)
(defun dired-revert (&optional arg noconfirm)
"Reread the dired buffer.
Must also be called after `dired-actual-switches' have changed.
Should not fail even on completely garbaged buffers.
Preserves old cursor, marks/flags, hidden-p."
...)
The doc string should say that there are two optionl arguments and they
are never used. And it should say explicitly that this is because this
function is used as a value of `revert-buffer-function'. The last part
is important - users should be able to see the connection easily.
And it would be better to name the args for this function IGNORE1 and
IGNORE2 or some such.
