- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; This code sets a buffer-local variable to t if toggle-emacs-lock is run,
- ;; then if the user attempts to exit emacs, the locked buffer name will be
- ;; displayed and the exit aborted. This is just a way of protecting
- ;; yourself from yourself. For example, if you have a shell running a big
- ;; program and exiting emacs would abort that program, you may want to lock
- ;; that buffer, then if you forget about it after a while, you won't
- ;; accidentally exit emacs. To unlock the buffer, just goto the buffer and
- ;; run toggle-emacs-lock again.
