Hi,
According to the documentation of call-process-region,
If START is nil, that means to use the entire buffer contents; END is
ignored.
But when I run:
(call-process-region nil nil "/bin/cat" t (current-buffer))
I get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
call-process-region(nil nil "/bin/cat" t #<buffer *scratch*>)
eval((call-process-region nil nil "/bin/cat" t (current-buffer)) nil)
elisp--eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-print-last-sexp(nil)
funcall-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil)
call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil)
command-execute(eval-print-last-sexp)
If, instead, I run:
(call-process-region (point-min) (point-max) "/bin/cat" t (current-buffer))
It works.
Am I interpreting the documentation wrong?

Thank you
