Subject: The function naming convention used by Emacs.
Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2021 19:05:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGP6POJ3FyyVWmu3wZ7V84dODaSiBrafHvnSLE1f-Nt-ZRMqfw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

As far as function names are concerned, are there some established
conventions used by Emacs? For example, I noticed that there are so
many functions in Emacs named by the suffix `-p', say,
`file-exists-p', `ht-equal-p', and so on. But I still can't figure out
the meaning of this suffix. Any tips will be appreciated.

Best, HZ
