,----[ C-h f emacs-lock-mode RET ] | emacs-lock-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in | `emacs-lock.el'. | | (emacs-lock-mode &optional ARG) | | Toggle Emacs Lock mode in the current buffer. | If called with a plain prefix argument, ask for the locking mode | to be used. With any other prefix ARG, turn mode on if ARG is | positive, off otherwise. If called from Lisp, enable the mode if | ARG is omitted or nil. | | Initially, if the user does not pass an explicit locking mode, it | defaults to `emacs-lock-default-locking-mode' (which see); | afterwards, the locking mode most recently set on the buffer is | used instead. | | When called from Elisp code, ARG can be any locking mode: | | exit -- Emacs cannot exit while the buffer is locked | kill -- the buffer cannot be killed, but Emacs can exit as usual | all -- the buffer is locked against both actions | | Other values are interpreted as usual. | | [back] `----
Emacs-24.1 has the following NEWS entry. ,---- | ** New emacs-lock.el package. | (The previous version has been moved to obsolete/old-emacs-lock.el.) | Now, there is a proper minor mode `emacs-lock-mode'. | Protection against exiting Emacs and killing the buffer can be set | separately. The mechanism for automatically turning off protection | for buffers with dead inferior processes has been generalized. `---- --
