Reloading the Current Buffer

Reloading the Current Buffer

[Fiber Optic]

Sometimes I would like to reload the current buffer from disk in emacs.

Is there an easy way to do this without having to C-x C-f and search for
the file again?

If anyone can post a simple lisp function I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Chris

`C-x C-v RET' (find-alternate-file) or `r r'.  Concerning `r r': After
the first letter (may be "r" or some other) Emacs detects that the
file is modified on disk and asks to revert it with `r'.

auto-revert will do it automatically.
