The node "Interlocking" in the user manual, where file locking is described on the user level, has a cross-reference to the above node pf ELisp manual. So I'm unsure how you missed that. > Please also update the doc of `dired-omit-files' to make clear that its > default value only approximately matches auto-save files (and lock > files?), and that even this is true only for the default naming regime > for auto-save files. I don't understand this part. Concretely, what is missing in the doc string, and why do you think it is necessary to add whatever is missing?
