;;; Synched up with: Not in FSF

;;; Commentary:

;; This file is dumped with XEmacs.

;; Combines autosaving for efs (to a local or remote directory)
;; with the ability to do autosaves to a fixed directory on a local
;; disk, in case NFS is slow.  The auto-save file used for
;;     /usr/foo/bar/baz.txt
;; will be
;;     AUTOSAVE/#\!usr\!foo\!bar\!baz.txt#
;; assuming AUTOSAVE is the non-nil value of the variable
;; `auto-save-directory'.

;; Takes care that autosave files for non-file-buffers (e.g. *mail*)
;; from two simultaneous Emacses don't collide.

;; Autosaves even if the current directory is not writable.

;; Can limit autosave names to 14 characters using a hash function,
;; see `auto-save-hash-p'.

;; See `auto-save-directory' and `make-auto-save-file-name' and
;; references therein for complete documentation.

;; `M-x recover-all-files' will effectively do recover-file on all
;; files whose autosave file is newer (one of the benefits of having
;; all autosave files in the same place).

;; This file is dumped with XEmacs.

;; If you want to autosave in the fixed directory /tmp/USER-autosave/
;; (setq auto-save-directory
;;       (concat "/tmp/" (user-login-name) "-autosave/"))

;; If you don't want to save in /tmp (e.g., because it is swap
;; mounted) but rather in ~/autosave/
;;   (setq auto-save-directory (expand-file-name "~/.autosave/"))

;; If you want to save each file in its own directory (the default)
;;   (setq auto-save-directory nil)
;; You still can take advantage of autosaving efs remote files
;; in a fixed local directory, `auto-save-directory-fallback' will
;; be used.

;; If you want to use 14 character hashed autosave filenames
;;   (setq auto-save-hash-p t)

;; Finally, put this line after the others in your ~/.emacs:
;;   (require 'auto-save)

  "If non-nil, fixed directory for autosaving: all autosave files go
there.  If this directory does not yet exist at load time, it is
created and its mode is set to 0700 so that nobody else can read your
autosave files.

If nil, each autosave files goes into the same directory as its
corresponding visited file.

A non-nil `auto-save-directory' could be on a local disk such as in
/tmp, then auto-saves will always be fast, even if NFS or the
automounter is slow.  In the usual case of /tmp being locally mounted,
note that if you run emacs on two different machines, they will not
see each other's auto-save files.

The value \(expand-file-name \"~/.autosave/\"\) might be better if /tmp
is mounted from swap (possible in SunOS, type `df /tmp' to find out)
and thus vanishes after a reboot, or if your system is particularly
thorough when cleaning up /tmp, clearing even non-empty subdirectories.

It should never be an efs remote filename because that would
defeat `efs-auto-save-remotely'.

Unless you set `auto-save-hash-p', you shouldn't set this to a
directory in a filesystem that does not support long filenames, since
a file named

    /home/sk/lib/emacs/lisp/auto-save.el

will have a longish filename like

    AUTO-SAVE-DIRECTORY/#\\!home\\!sk\\!lib\\!emacs\\!lisp\\!auto-save.el#

Offers to autosave all files in the same `auto-save-directory'.  All

Takes care to make autosave files for files accessed through efs
be local files if variable `efs-auto-save-remotely' is nil.

Takes care of slashes in buffer names to prevent autosave errors.

Takes care that autosave files for buffers not visiting any file (such

the Emacs pid.

Uses 14 character autosave names if `auto-save-hash-p' is true.
