Subject: bug#1434: Docstring for `toggle-read-only' shouldn't imply the buffer is file-visiting
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:37:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f7ccd24b0811260737j5eea334dpe269cb26c3bb076c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Package: emacs
Severity: minor
Most references to readonly-ness in files.el do talk about
file-visiting buffers, which makes sense. However, `toggle-read-only'
is useful for non-visiting buffers too, though the docstring seems to
imply otherwise.
Docstring for `toggle-read-only' says:
Change whether this buffer is visiting its file read-only.
With prefix argument ARG, make the buffer read-only if ARG is
positive, otherwise make it writable. If visiting file read-only
and `view-read-only' is non-nil, enter view mode.
