,----[ C-h f revert-buffer RET ] | revert-buffer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `files'. | (revert-buffer &optional IGNORE-AUTO NOCONFIRM PRESERVE-MODES) | | Replace current buffer text with the text of the visited file on disk. | This undoes all changes since the file was visited or saved. | With a prefix argument, offer to revert from latest auto-save file, if | that is more recent than the visited file. | | This command also works for special buffers that contain text which | doesn't come from a file, but reflects some other data base instead: | for example, Dired buffers and buffer-list buffers. In these cases, | it reconstructs the buffer contents from the appropriate data base. | | When called from Lisp, the first argument is IGNORE-AUTO; only offer | to revert from the auto-save file when this is nil. Note that the | sense of this argument is the reverse of the prefix argument, for the | sake of backward compatibility. IGNORE-AUTO is optional, defaulting | to nil. | | Optional second argument NOCONFIRM means don't ask for confirmation at | all. (The local variable `revert-without-query', if non-nil, prevents | confirmation.) | | Optional third argument PRESERVE-MODES non-nil means don't alter | the files modes. Normally we reinitialize them using `normal-mode'. | | If the value of `revert-buffer-function' is non-nil, it is called to | do all the work for this command. Otherwise, the hooks | `before-revert-hook' and `after-revert-hook' are run at the beginning | and the end, and if `revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-function' is | non-nil, it is called instead of rereading visited file contents. `----
