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 #) 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? Emacs version: GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0, NS appkit-1671.20 Version 10.14.3 (Build 18D109)) of 2019-09-02 Thank you
