It's a function: ,----[ C-h f temp-buffer-resize-mode RET ] | temp-buffer-resize-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `help.el'. | (temp-buffer-resize-mode &optional arg) | | Toggle the mode which makes windows smaller for temporary buffers. | With prefix argument arg, turn the resizing of windows displaying temporary | buffers on if arg is positive or off otherwise. | This makes the window the right height for its contents, but never | more than `temp-buffer-max-height' nor less than `window-min-height'. | This applies to `help', `apropos' and `completion' buffers, and some others. | | [back] `---- -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
